Report: Bayern around €10M short of City's asking price for Sane
Berlin, May 14, 2020 (AFP) - Bayern Munich and Manchester City are reportedly close to agreeing a transfer fee for Germany winger Leroy Sane, according to the German media on Thursday.
Magazine Kicker claims City want €50 million ($54 million) for the 24-year-old Sane, but Bayern are offering around €10 million less.
Last week, magazine Sport Bild reported that Sane has already agreed a transfer to Bayern on a five-year contract.
Kicker claims defending Bundesliga champions Bayern have cut off talks with RB Leipzig's Germany striker Timo Werner, because they are nearing a deal with Sane.
Since joining from Schalke in 2016 reportedly for around €50 million, Sane has won the Premier League title twice under Pep Guardiola at City.
However, he has not played for the first team since suffering a torn knee ligament in the Community Shield match against Liverpool last August.
Kicker claims City had wanted €125 million for Sane before injury struck.
