"I would like to have Leroy at Bayern, that would send the right message," the right-back told Bild. "He's a player who would be a good fit at Bayern. I think he's a very good player. He has great potential, but was not allowed to play at City last season, which I cannot understand. But it is his decision and the task of those responsible to convince him. If I was in the club's position, I would certainly buy him."
Meanwhile, the Guardian have reported that City have turned down an offer of €80m (£70.7m) for Sane from Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich club president Uli Hoeness previously confirmed City's Sane is a player the German champions are interested in signing.
