Leroy Sane will leave Manchester City, either this summer or next, after Pep Guardiola confirmed the winger has rejected multiple contract offers and told the club he wants to leave
City have been trying to persuade the 24-year-old Germany winger to sign an extension to his contract, which expires in 2021.
But Sane, who has been linked with Bayern Munich for the past 12 months, has rejected several offers.
On Friday, in a press conference, Guardiola revealed the former Schalke player had rejected a deal and would leave when his contract was up in 2021, if not before.
“Leroy has said he doesn’t want to extend the contract. He wants to leave,” Guardiola said, “That will either happen this summer or when he is out of contract.
“The club spoke to Leroy two or three times to extend his contract. He rejected. He wants to play at another club.
“If at the end of the season both clubs arrive at an agreement then he’ll leave, if not then he’ll stay one more year and then leave at the end of his contract.”
Sane who joined City from Schalke for £37m on a five-year deal in 2016 has not played for the club since suffering cruciate ligament damage during the Community Shield in August.
