Brother of Bayern Munich chairman claims club could get Leroy Sane for £44m

Former Bayern Munich striker and brother of the club's chairman, Michael Rummenigge, believes they could get Manchester City winger Leroy Sane for £44m this summer.

Michael Rummenigge, a former Bayern Munich striker and brother of the club's chairman Karl-Heinz, has claimed that the German side could get Manchester City winger Leroy Sane for £44m this summer.

With the 24-year-old's contract set to expire next year and the current financial effects of the coronavirus, the former Bayern player believes that the Bundesliga giants could snap him up for a bargain fee.

The German international has also missed the entirety of the 2019-20 campaign due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury he picked up in August last year - another factor adding to the low price tag.

Rummenigge wrote in his Sportbuzzer column: "Bayern would have bought him for €100m to €120m (£87m-£105m) before the cruciate ligament rupture, an obligation could now be significantly cheaper and maybe only cost €50m (£44m)."

The Citizens are potentially facing a two-year ban from UEFA competitions after breaching financial fair play rules.

If the ban is to go ahead, the Manchester outfit could see a large number of players leave the club this summer.

Sane is yet to sign a new deal with City, with his current contract expiring next summer.
