Leroy Sane transfer: Man City offered £34 million by Bayern Munich
According to Sport Bild, Bayern Munich have started negotiating with Man City, with an opening offer hovering in the range of £34 million ($43 million). However, this amount is considerably less than what the Bavarian giants were willing to pay last summer - £87 million ($108 million). In fact, Man City paid £44 million ($54 million) to Schalke 04 in 2016 to sign Sane.
Leroy Sane transfer: Bayern Munich determined to seal the transfer
It is reported that Bayern Munich believe Leroy Sane's personal commitment to play for the Bundesliga giants will help them in pressurising Man City to agree to a lower transfer fee. The Bundesliga leaders believe that any deal hovering within the £52 million mark ($65 million) will be a transfer success for them. Despite the coronavirus outbreak as well as the financial losses that the clubs have accrued, Bayern Munich are determined to seal Leroy Sane's deal this summer.
