Manchester City fans will remember how German newspaper Bild went huge on Leroy Sane moving to them during the January transfer window. At the time the whole thing seemed rather unlikely, largely because it was the winter window and such huge moves rarely happen, especially when a club is set against a sale, as Schalke were.
This time around it may be different, and Bild are going big once more. Having already claimed on Thursday that Manchester City have agreed a four year contract with the player, and Schalke would likely accept €50m, it’s once again their biggest sport story as everything is reiterated.
Bild add that an offer from Manchester City is now imminent, and they say the club’s manager is excited about the player. Pep Guardiola is keen to add Sane’s pace to his side, and would use him through the middle rather than on the wing.
The German newspaper believe this would represent a change in Manchester City’s style, with Guardiola wanting a fast and fluid attack, maybe without a traditional centre forward.
