After the winger rejected City attempts to tie Sane with a new contract, Bayern launched to bring the 24-year-old back to the Bundesliga.

Sane had one year left on his contract at Etihad Stadium and City opted to cash in instead of losing the German international for free in 12 months.

He has limited himself to a single Premier League appearance this season after suffering a knee ligament injury at the Community Shield against Liverpool in August.

Sources have told ESPN that Bayern will pay around € 49 million in advance with an additional € 11 million in add-ons. Sane is expected to sign a five-year contract.

Sane came to the city of Schalke in a £ 37 million deal in 2016 and has made 135 appearances in four seasons, scoring 39 goals.

He won five major trophies at the Etihad, including the Premier League title in 2018 and 2019. Sane was also named PFA Young Player of the Year in 2018.
