Bayern Munich will have to make Leroy Sane one of the most expensive players of all time if they want to prise the winger away from Manchester City.
Sportsmail understands City would expect to recoup upwards of £135million should they sell a player they bought for £37million three years ago.
That figure would be in line with fees paid for Joao Felix, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele over the last two years - only Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have cost more than £150million.
Guardiola has been irked by Bayern officials continuing to talk about their pursuit of Sane.
That manager Niko Kovac openly discussed where he would fit in at the Allianz Arena raised eyebrows.
City wrote to the Bundesliga champions asking them to desist from publicly courting the Germany international and Kovac has apologised to Guardiola via text message.
Sane’s has two years left on his current contract and terms on a new deal remain unsigned. Guardiola will not go after an immediate replacement should Sane move to Bayern, who are confident of luring him away.

in today's market , Pepe is around 80m and Jao Felix around 120m when they are still raw. Sane is has proven himself to be elite. whether he comes off the bench or not, he's still an integral part of man city who Value depth a lot because they play in all competitions. you should understand why they wouldn't let him leave for cheap ! if you were to let Gorezta leave , how much would he cost?

That's too much, 80m is enough in my opinion, hazard went to Real Madrid in 130m I think and Ronaldo to juventus in 105m and then there's 1 Sane, Who sits on the bench in big games for city and city want 135m, Foolishness and mental Man City

lol these city fans really don't get the negotiating process and even if was true bayern will be like no worries you think a player that wont sign a new deal for how long know wont just come next year for half of what we are offering now you are very naive you city fans have to understand that if he is not happy and want to come to bayern he will eventually wether it's this season or next you will just loose half the money or risk loosing even more if he goes for free! they you will be regretting the stupid terms you put to Bayern!

Sane is worth an “insane” price at list 150 millions! I love this player and I hope City is not going to play in the hand s of arrogants like Rumeninge and Uli Hoenes!

I would pay it if i were apart of bayern front office,its bigger than him just coming to play for bayern its also about germany & its international ambitions to win the world cup again.Bayern is extremely smart by placing the best that germany has(not all) but many on the same team,it creates chemistry amongst national players.i believe bayern should do it for the betterment of germany as a whole not just for a franchise.Sane is worth every penny & he has proven it so in the hardest league of all the EPL.

sane and city deserve that amount because n.pepe sbd felix got 80 mil and 126 mil who are playing in the farmer league while sane playing one of the best league in the world premier league and proved already as a elite player.So my point of veiw For mancity they derserved that price for sane whether bayern buy or not.
