According to The Sun, Bayern Munich will reignite their interest in Manchester City winger Leroy Sane in the January transfer window.
What’s the word?
The Germany international was the subject of intense transfer speculation earlier this summer amid a possible move to the Bundesliga.
However, the 23-year-old suffered a major blow when he fell victim to an ACL injury in the Community Shield clash against Liverpool.

Despite potentially being out until next spring, The Sun claim Bayern are intent on signing the German, and are hopeful City drop their reported £145m price tag due to his injury.
The report adds City are in “no mood” to let go him on the cheap, and that Pep Guardiola’s side have not given up hope of convincing Sane to sign a new long-term deal with the club.
Time to cash in
Prior to Sane’s injury, City were absolutely right in keeping hold of the flying German. After all, this is a man who racked up 16 goals and 18 assists across all competitions last season. But seeing him ruled out for the best part of this campaign, and with a big question mark hanging over him about whether he will return as the same player, Guardiola’s side should now lean into selling him.
If the Bavarian giants were to acquiesce to City’s demands of more than £100m for Sane, then that would represent excellent business. Guardiola has publicly admitted in recent weeks that they could not sign a new centre-back in the summer transfer window due to financial restraints. Cashing in on Sane for big money would give them more than enough ammunition to address that issue in the winter transfer window.

For all of Sane’s incredible numbers since his arrival at City, there have been occasions where it has appeared Guardiola and the winger haven’t seen eye to eye. The 23-year-old’s injury may be the catalyst in prompting the Etihad outfit to finally let him go.
