Borussia Dortmund chief-executive Hans-Joachim Watzke wants to see Leroy Sane back in Germany.
Even if it means the Manchester City winger strengthening rivals Bayern Munich, Watzke says the deal would be good for the Bundesliga overall.
He told Bild: “I think it would be very good if Bayern brings Leroy Sane back as a Germany international.
“Because that would further increase the appeal of the league."
City are demanding £100m to sell Sane this summer.
