Sane to depart for Bayern Munich this summer

NEWS DIGEST – Leroy Sane has officially told Manchester City he wants to leave the club this summer. The winger has rejected numerous offers of a new contract at the Etihad Stadium and negotiations have reached a standstill.

Sane will depart for Bayern Munich in the coming months if the two clubs can agree a fee – but City have maintained they will not be bullied into releasing the player on the cheap.

The Premier League champions will allow the 24-year-old to run down his contract until next June if Bayern do not lodge an offer deemed acceptable. Sane has made it clear to Bayern that he is ready to move to Bavaria immediately.

‘Leroy has said he doesn’t want to extend the contract,’ Pep Guardiola said. ‘He wants to leave. That will either happen this summer or when he is out of contract.

‘The club spoke to Leroy two or three times to extend his contract. He rejected. He wants to play at another club.

If at the end of the season both clubs arrive at an agreement then he’ll leave, if not then he’ll stay one more year and then leave at the end of his contract.’
