Manchester City are exploring the prospect of re-signing Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich.

City management are seeking a long-term replacement for Kevin de Bruyne and Sane is on their radar.

BILD football chief Christian Falk is reporting: “Leroy is estimated to earn €20m. There is still a bit of leeway, but not much more. With Bayern, top earners were up to €25m. So, you have to talk. The contract should be extended.

“However, as I heard, Manchester City has now also set its eyes on him. His ex-club, whether he would return to Pep Guardiola? I honestly don't think so. I think Bayern really has very good chances to extend with Leroy.

"But that has to be discussed now. And these conversations are now starting."
