Uncertainty surrounding Leroy Sane's future is set to rumble on for the remainder of this season, with Bayern Munich retaining keen interest in the Manchester City winger.
The Germany international will enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer and last year's offer of a bumper new deal has been left unsigned.
The 24-year-old, who is nearing a first-team return following a long-term knee injury, has had City's desire to keep him made clear by manager Pep Guardiola.
Bayern remain interested in landing Sane but believe it will cost them upwards of £80million to prise him away from the Etihad Stadium – even given his contract situation.
