Bayern Munich are pushing Manchester City to consider a swap deal for Leroy Sane.
The Sun says City are set to be offered David Alaba as a makeweight for Sane by Bayern this summer.
The Austrian left-back is one of the German giants' top stars, but it is understood he is looking for a new challenge.
It is understood Bayern are worried more top sides will come in for Sane when the transfer window opens.
An Etihad source said: “Leroy is not for sale but there has been interest from a number of clubs for him.
“It is well known that Pep and Alaba have a good relationship after he turned him into a star all those years back.
“We are sticking to our valuation over Leroy though. It would have to be a huge offer to even contemplate a move."
