Bayern Munich want to give Leroy Sane no 10 shirt

Bayern Munich are ready to give number 10 shirt to Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, according to Sports Bild. Bayern Munich have been long admirers of the City winger, who has been linked with a move away for the past 12 months. The Bundesliga champions have made offers in the past for Sane. However, City have rejected them as they have tried to persuade the German to stay at the Etihad.

Sane has agreed on a five-year deal with Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga giants initially offered €40m (£35m) - which is £11m less than what City paid Schalke for Sane in 2016. The Bundesliga giants are confident of snapping him up for less than £60 million. However, the fee is yet to be agreed between City and Bayern.
