The Bayern entourage also reportedly met Sane’s representatives to discuss a deal but no conclusion could be reached with Manchester City on the transfer fee. Sane then succumbed to a long term injury that has till date kept him out of action. He last featured for the Citizens in the Community Shield in August.
