“It would be a dream come true to come back to the Premier League but I won’t be joining Man City because I want a new experience. So I’m going to be joining this premier League Club… during the next transfer window for obvious reasons” – Leroy Sane addresses speculation about his future at FC Bayern München to Fabrizio Romano amid reported interest from Manchester City
Manchester City wants to sign Leroy Sane again from Bayern Munich, but Liverpool, a rival in the Premier League, is also interested.
The 27-year-old German forward moved from Schalke to the Citizens in August 2016 and has scored 39 goals in 135 games across all categories.
After coming back from a major knee injury, Sane joined Bayern in July 2020. He has recently found his best form again, scoring eight goals and setting up six more in the Bundesliga this season.
Sources in Germany say that City is ready to compete with Liverpool to sign the winger. His current contract at the Allianz Arena ends in 2025.
And now that Jeremy Doku joined the team in the summer, Pep Guardiola has a lot of great choices on the wings, such as Folden and Grealish.
At the same time, Jurgen Klopp can pick from Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo for Liverpool.
But a player as good as Sane, who is about to hit his prime and might be available for less money, might be too tempting for both teams to turn down.
The 57-cap international’s track record of being able to link up with Harry Kane in Bavaria may also catch the attention of the coaches, who have Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez leading their own lines.
