Sane move to Bayern looks imminent

It appears that, after a long-drawn saga throughout the summer which only ended when he injured his ACL in August, as well as some speculative reports afterwards, we’re going to see the story about Leroy Sane’s move to Bayern Munich come to a close soon. According to various reports in Germany, it is now inevitable that the Manchester City winger will join the Bavarians in one of the next two transfer windows.

The negotiations that lasted all summer were constantly stumbling over a proposed price, with the Premier League champions demanding the rates at which top young forwards in the world are going these days – not less than €150 million. The price will, however, gradually go down with each window, with his contract expiring in 2021. The only thing the Bundesliga title holders (and Sane himself) have to decide whether to wait for next summer for a cut-price deal, or to accelerate matters and get the business done in January, which would likely cost slightly more.
