News24 - Bayern Munich make shock approach for Man City star which could help Man Utd
======================================
Bayern Munich have made a shock approach for Manchester City star Leroy Sane, according to the Daily Record . The Bundesliga champions have reportedly been given permission to speak to Sane's representatives to discuss a lucrative summer transfer. And if they successfully land the winger, it could provide Manchester United with a major boost in their pursuit of Lille winger Nicolas Pepe. Bayern are thought to have put their interest in Pepe on hold as they look to land Sane as a replacement for outgoing Arjen Robben, giving United and other interest parties such as Arsenal are lifeline. City, meanwhile, are keen to retain Sane but do no want to risk a situation where his contract runs down and may cash-in given he has rejected a string of contract upgrades and extensions. Sane's current deal runs out in the summer of 2021, and he is said to be unhappy with his role in Pep Guardiola's squad and the fact he feels his value has not been met. Bayern lost out to City in their bid to sign the winger as a youngster back in 2016, although they might now finally land their man three years later. The German giants are one of numerous big clubs around Europe eyeing significant summer investment after a disappointing Champions League campaign. They have already agreed a club-record fee of €80million for Lucas Hernandez, plus Benjamin Pavard is en route from Stuttgart. But the search for a top class winger remains a priority with stalwarts Frank Ribery and Arjen Robben on their way out. They have tabled a €60m for Pepe, but it is some way short of Lille's €80m valuation with United making contact with the French club to try and bring him to Old Trafford. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with the winger, who has been a star performer with 20 Ligue 1 goals this term.
