Manchester City will target £40m-rated Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey as a replacement for Leroy Sane if he leaves for Germany next season

Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey is emerging as a target for Manchester City should Leroy Sane leave.

Winger Sane could leave the Etihad Stadium for a return Germany ahead of next season, with Bayern Munich expected to be his destination.

City have watched Bailey significantly over the past couple of seasons - but the uncertainty regarding Sane could see the club cement their interest.

Bailey would be viewed as a like-for-like replacement for Sane, with the Jamaica international comfortable on either flank.

The 22-year-old is naturally left-footed, but is comfortable with both feet.
