On May 14, 2020, Bayern Munich and Manchester City reportedly edged closer to a deal for Germany winger Leroy Sane. According to German media, City want 50 million euros ($54 million) for the 24-year-old Sane, but Bayern are offering around 10 million euros less.
Since joining Manchester City from Schalke in 2016 reportedly for around 50 million euros, Sane has won the Premier League title twice under Pep Guardiola. However, he has not played for the first team since suffering a torn knee ligament in the Community Shield match against Liverpool last August.
Magazine Kicker claims City had wanted 125 million euros for Sane before injury struck. Bayern Munich had also reportedly cut off talks with RB Leipzig’s Germany striker Timo Werner, as they near a deal with Sane.
