Manchester City have set a price tag of £145million for Leroy Sane as Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich continue bid for the German International.
The German side’s pursuit of the Manchester City winger, 23, has become increasingly fractious in recent days. The English side have written an angry letter of complaint to Bayern over their public courting of the winger.
That has resulted in a series of apologies from Karl Heinz Rummenigge and other members of the Allianz Arena top brass.
Yet, City are in no mood to back down – and will only sell if Sane declares he wants to leave.
Reports in his Germany claim the wide man has made up his mind to return to his homeland – although this was denied by Bayern last night.
And City have heard nothing from the Schalke winger about wanting to leave – despite the fact he has refused to sign his new contract over the last year.
