Bayern Munich 'make decision on Man City's Leroy Sane' and more transfer rumours
Bayern Munich are now seeking out alternatives to Man City star Leroy Sane, according to reports.
The German champions chased Sane throughout the summer with City eventually becoming irked by the very public pursuit, which saw several big players and high ranking officials comment on the situation.
It got to the point that then-manager Nico Kovac was forced to apologise after saying he was 'confident' a deal would be done and Bayern publicly denying German reports that a transfer was close to completion on their Twitter account.
Sane would then suffer a serious knee injury prior to the Premier League season against Liverpool in the Community Shield, prompting Bayern to recruit Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Perisic instead.
Yet the Bavarians didn't lose their interest and CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge refused to rule out that the club would make a move to sign the 24-year-old.
However reports in Bild, who have been leading the Sane to Bayern speculation, via SportWitness, suggest that they may have given up the chase.
It's reported that Bayern have been left 'frustrated' by Sane's swap of agents, which would lead to negotiations starting over, and 'will look at other options.'
They claim that Bayer Leverkusen wonderkid Kai Havertz and RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner could be targets, and that they may look at keeping Coutinho and Perisic longer than their initial loans.
Sane's contract at City expires at the end of next season.
