Deal agreed with Bayern Munich for Leroy Sane - €60m (including add-ons)

If anyone is in any doubt about Sane's talent, importance to our style of play and impact, watch this video, especially the first 20 minutes

Sane is 23 and should be approaching his peak in the next season or two, the time for talking about his potential is almost over. Sterling has gone past the potential stage Sane hasn’t yet.

Sterling is 24 mate.

To tell everyone £137m in the press and then sell for £91m would be pathetic so I can't believe it's true.

Agreed mate, if that happened we would look beyond ridiculous! We need to tell Bayern to fuck off this window and spend this coming season starting Leroy and getting him to sign that new contract

According to Der Spegil, via SportWhitness, that the deal is done for €100m Euros and he wont play for City today.

I suspect that story is complete bollox, so let's wait and see. My guess is he will play today and City will hold out for another 2 years rather than let Bayern cherry pick any of our players.
£135m + no loyalty bonus will be the City stand.

And if it's not true, it proves that this particular 'news' organisation, is dishonest.

IMHO Sane plays at his best and his most consistent when De Bruyne is playing in the team. He suffered most from De Bruyne’s absences last season. Hope he stays so we can have our best season ever!!
Liverpool “will have to kill us “ to beat us today!!

Get what you are saying but my point is a player worth top money should be paid top dollar. One thing for certain he's worth more than what we are offering.

This lad is going to be unreal.

I think you answered your own point.

He is GONG TO BE unreal....and when he is, City will pay him unreal wages. ATM, he can’t even nail down a place in the team, but we see the potential and his age, and that he is an international, and that for BM he is a homegrown player who might harm us in Europe, so they have to pay through the nose, as City have for others. THAT’S the game today, in an era of £30M for no name defenders and £80+M for players who have had one breakout season.

They don’t have to pay it and can wait 2 yrs for him for free, if they want to. In the meantime, he doesn’t get the playing time he wants to be an international regular for the Euros and World Cup games for the next two years.

Only question now is “How much does BM want Sané?”

Not sure anyone is denying Leroy's talent, maybe just the mentality and desire to kick-on. Personally I think Pep made his own mind up at some point last season, that is why we are prepared to let him go if the right money is offered.

 

[alexmcity]

again all very good points, but who asks 137m for a squad player.... unless they value him that highly. play him and pay him city, hoof Marhez instead.

Perhaps we don't want to sell to Bayern. With that asking price we tell them to feck off or take their pants down and get humiliated.

Sane is a top talent. It just happens that we've been eceptionally good in the transfer market and signed two other top top talents in Sterling and Bernardo. Sane is up there with them when he is at his very best. But his bottom level is poor compared to theirs. In other words, he is more inconsistent. Still, we are happy to have him and willing to help him develop his talent under the best manager in the world, the one who helped Messi become Messi.

IMHO Sane plays at his best and his most consistent when De Bruyne is playing in the team feels like it!

Fixed it for you.

It would be very strange if City were to have taken the public stance that they have and then completely undermine it by not playing him today, unless he’s injured or refuses to play and there’s no suggestion that either of those applies
