£135m-rated Man City star names next club
Manchester City winger Leroy Sane wants to join German giants Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.
Sane has not played for the Premier League champions since August but, just as he is returning to fitness, he has now reportedly decided his future lies away from England.
Sane, 23, was wanted by Bayern last summer, and now the Bundesliga champions are edging closer to landing the Germany international.
According to German outlet Bild, Sane has made up his mind that he wants to return to his homeland as soon as next month.
There has been a long-held interest in Sane from Bayern Munich, who currently sit seven points behind leaders RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
Bayern had planned to make another move for him in the summer but Sane’s desire to leave City could speed up the process.

Sane has rejected new contract offers from City, who are wary that they risk losing him for nothing in 2021 which would negatively impact their need to balance the books amid ongoing checks that they remain compliant with Financial Fair Play rules.
Bayern lost both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery last summer and Sane is seen as the perfect long-term replacement for both wingers.
