Bondesliga champions Bayern Munich who are willing to land Manchester city forward Leroy Sane back to his country home
The German publication say that Bayern will offer Sane the coveted number ten shirt, which has been worn by some of the greatest players to have ever played for the club. On-loan Philippe Coutinho is currently in possession of the number, but he’s unlikely to be staying at the club beyond the end of the season.
Arjen Robben, Uli Hoeneß and Lothar Matthaus are just three of the iconic names who have previously donned the number ten jersey, with the former of the three enjoying tremendous success with Bayern Munich over the past decade.
Sane currently wears the number 19 shirt, which he also wore at previous club Schalke 04. There’s no indication that the German has any affinity towards the number, but his desire and appetite to join the Bundesliga champions is likely to be whetted by the offering of such a prestigious jersey.
As for how things play out this summer, control of the situation is very much in City’s hands. They have the financial firepower to buy just about any player in the world, so bringing in a replacement for Sane is feasible – providing the club can find a player capable of rising to Pep Guardiola’s high standards.
To date, we’ve learned that Sane is more than up for a return to his homeland, while City are reluctant to sell the German international. They may, however, be forced to reconsider their stance, given that his current contract at the Etihad Stadium runs out in the summer of 2021.
One thing that’s guaranteed is that talk of a move to Liverpool is exactly that – talk. The Reds are said to have held an interest in signing Sane, and were even hopeful of persuading him to run down his contract in order to move to Anfield for free.
