Manchester City do not expect Leroy Sane to demand a move to Bayern Munich this summer.

The Premier League champions are bracing themselves for a bid from the German giants, who are set to make a formal approach.

Bayern have made it clear they want Sane to help make up for the loss of the departing Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.

But City are not convinced the winger has a burning desire to leave the Etihad – and remain hopeful he will end the uncertainty over his future by signing a long-term deal.

More contract talks have taken place since the end of the season and Pep Guardiola is determined to keep Sane as part of his domestic treble-winning squad.

But the 23-year-old’s refusal to sign a contract, following 18 months of negotiations, has raised doubts over his future – as well as Guardiola’s decision to overlook him in favour of Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez on a regular basis last season.

Guardiola insists he doesn’t want to let Sane go – but Bayern have been alerted to his contract stand-off.

With only two years to run on the deal he signed in 2016, City cannot run the risk of losing an asset, worth around £80million, for nothing.

Even if Sane does go this summer, Guardiola has no intention of bringing in a replacement.

City’s manager is confident he has enough strength in depth in the form of Raheem Sterling, Bernardo and Mahrez to avoid the need to sign another winger.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed the German champions’ interest in Sane last month, saying: “”We will try. I cannot promise whether it will succeed.

“We already had the idea when he was still with Schalke. But at that time we did not have a guaranteed regular place for him.

“Robben and Ribery were top of the top three years ago.”
