Leroy Sane Edges Closer to Bayern Move After Player's Agent Meets With Club 'Confidant'

Rumours surrounding the future of Manchester City winger Leroy Sane have intensified after the player's agent met with a 'confidant' of Bayern Munich to discuss a potential transfer for the German international.

Sane was repeatedly linked with a move to the Bundesliga side over the summer, having grown weary with a lack of playing time at the Etihad Stadium, before a long-term injury in the club's Community Shield victory over Liverpool pulled the handbrakes on any move.

Bayern made the 23-year-old one of their top targets over summer, with manager Niko Kovac landing himself in hot water after going as far to claim he was 'very confident' of securing the forward's signature.
