Bayern Munich are dropping out of the battle for Schalke attacker Leroy Sane.

The Mirror says Bayern have given Manchester City a free run at German wonderkid Sane after briefing that they have no interest in signing the Schalke starlet this summer.

City are keen on signing the 20-year-old winger and have agreed terms over a four-year deal.

However City are yet to meet Schalke's £42million price tag for the youngster, part of Jogi Low's Euro 2016 squad.

Pep Guardiola has given the deal the thumbs up, after City monitored the youngster last season, believing Sane to be one of Europe's most-promising young talents.
