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

[Dr Jacoby]

Starting to think this is a win win for us. He stays and we’ve got a very good player who could become great. He goes for anything over £125m and we’ve got some serious money to reinvest in areas that are much more needed than the wing.
My only issue is this being dragged out like it has.

We won’t be signing a replacement this summer, though.

I know we have plenty of options to play on the left wing but Sane’s explosiveness would be sorely missed.

Always think it's a bit weird when people refuse to believe something just because it was posted on Twitter. You can't just dismiss an entire platform!

The source is not twitter, or at least the orginal story is on the web. https://www.francefootball.fr/news/...chester-city-pour-tout-l-or-du-bayern/1046413

Apologies if this is already known.

The problem is though the gap to Liverpool is slim, and he will win us games this season if he's available, and that's almost priceless. We simply can't replace him now.

he is as good as gone. bayern are also working on signing his younger brother, sidi, from schalke. our net spend will be minimal and we will be fine.

loaded with depth.

Are we selling Bernardo as well?

I don’t necessarily mean this summer, mate. Think we would be ok for now.

On trial at Mansfield.

Ok maybe a dismissal of the whole platform was OTT but the vast majority of it is rubbish/speculation

I dismissed it because we briefed a £137m price, we then got Bild saying it was all done and he wouldn’t be playing yesterday, which obviously turned out to be bullshit and now another today saying it’s been agreed at just over £100m.

This one will turn out to be wrong too, and if not I’ll definitely come back on here saying how great France Football was all along..

Mate, it's nothing to do with Twitter. it's France Football, the twitter is only the medium the news came to you. If you'd been regular France Football reader, it would be France Football.

I understand not accepting Twitter as a source when some no name user posts some shit, but this actually has

I don't know where on earth people have got the idea from that Bayern will stump up £120m or so.

Until this summer the most they'd ever spent was £37m. I just cannot see them spending that on Sané. I mean, he's great and has huge potential, but it's potential which may or may not be realised and £125m (let alone £137m) is silly money. They'd be mad to blow that and they are not mad.

They are in desperate situation, they need to start spending big if they want to keep in touch with European royalty, lol and Sane is pretty marketable for German market. Of course they would want him cheaper, but 125m can still be poretty good and profitable for them if he makes it big time. And he probably will.

My feelings too. Providing Sane is happy to stay and fight for his place, I'd keep him. I don't accept journalists claims that he's told players he wants to go. If he felt strongly, he'd speak to Pep, and I doubt he has.

It seems every 48 hours some journalists somewhere makes such a claim.

Kevin was injured/out of form for most of the season and we managed to win. Pep will find a way to compensate for Sane's absence. We'll have more options with the new signings, with Kevin being available, with Jesus maturing, with Foden making the next step, etc.
