If a player changes his mind there is nothing we can do about it, i know that if I were playing for City in the Europa league earning £50k a week and someone like Dortmund came in and offered me CL football and double my wages I still wouldn't move.
Some players move for money, some move for ambition and the rest move because United was always their boyhood club and they are happy to play there for nothing just to be part of their history:)

MCFC Info @MCFClnfo 11m11 minutes ago
Schalke state that Leroy Sane not asked to leave the club amid reports linking him with City and Bayern. [Bild]
MCFC Info @MCFClnfo 10m10 minutes ago
Heidel: "If that were to happen, interested clubs could approach us to discuss a move. We will make a quick decision on what happens."
MCFC Info @MCFClnfo 9m9 minutes ago
Heidel: "I want to emphasise it is our decision. It is important that our plans for 2016-17 are not affected by it."

'Quick decision', this is all posturing from Schalke imo
Bild is definitely not less credible then the sun.

If we use history as a measure then these comments mean nothing, they sound like what every club ever have said before flogging a player imo.

I think will just trust Tolmie on this one
I disagree and my German in-laws disagree. It's a silly argument anyway, the point is that BILD are untrustworthy in the extreme and this dubious story, which contradicts weeks of links between City-Sane, is another example of why.
So you think that BILD, one of Germany's biggest sports outlets has invented quotes from Schalke's sporting director?
Because that's the only way BILD could be unreliable with this story, in which they simply quote Christian Heidel.
You could call the quotes posturing, and that would be a fair stance.
But to say disregard because it's in BILD is ridiculous.

Sounds to me like they want to sort out a replacement first. Or was that supposed to be Embolo?
This is my point to an extent. We need someone who can make up for what we don't have to offer there
1. BILD isn't a sports outlet, it's a broadsheet newspaper modeled off the Sun, complete with page 3 girls.
2. BILD is fiercely nationalistic and often spins articles to make the situation seem favourable to a player staying in Germany.
3. The quotes could be false, out of context or old, but that's irrelevant. BILD has taken some quotes and made a story that is contradictory to what is being reported elsewhere. That is about as dubious a scenario as I can imagine.

And don't forget they were the ones who tricked kev into saying he was staying at Wolfsburg on that crazy night
No they weren't, that was SportsBild which is a completely seperate publication.
As someone who's followed the Bundesliga: There is no spin going on Heidel has been consistent in his approach from the beginning. There is nothing 'dubious' about saying a player hasn't requested to leave, especially when the player and the agent have been silent.
Doesn't mean that City aren't in negotiations with Sane's agent and it doesn't mean that he still won't end up leaving, just means that Sane hasn't requested a transfer yet and that Schalke haven't received a bid. It is there decision whether or not to sell ultimately and they could chose to keep him for a year and sell next year. Sane doesn't seem like the type to kick and scream. Bayern had a deal lined up with Lewy a year before he left on free transfer because Dortmund refused to sell. He was a professional and played out the year.
