Manchester City star Leroy Sane faces being 'left in limbo' over move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich due to coronavirus crisis with German winger entering final year of contract

Bayern Munich's pursuit of Leroy Sane has been dealt a serious blow due to the coronavirus crisis, according to reports.

The Bundesliga champions are long-term admirers of the Manchester City winger and were looking to table a £100m bid during the 2019 summer transfer window.

Despite Sane picking up an anterior cruciate ligament injury in August, which has ruled him out of the entire 2019/20 season to date, Bayern have kept their interest in the 24-year-old and were looking to try again for the German this summer.

Manchester City winger Leroy Sane's move to Bayern Munich is in doubt due to coronavirus

However, according to Goal, the coronavirus crisis means that football clubs' chances of making big-money signings this year have been seriously reduced and Sane may prove to be one bridge too far for the Bundesliga club.
