Bayern Munich legend, Lothar Matthaus, believes Manchester City winger, Leroy Sane, is the ideal signing for the German giants this summer.
The 2018-19 season came to a fantastic end for Bayern Munich as they completed the domesti double with an emphatic win over RB Leipzig in the DFB Pokal final on Saturday. This achievement has also made sure that Niko Kovac will be the club’s manager next season despite the heavy criticism he’s received throughout the season.
Bayern will now turn their focus to next season and resume with their work in the transfer market.
The Bundesliga champions have released numerous veteran players, and there are some serious question marks over the future of some of the fringe players like Jerome Boateng. This could be a defining transfer window for Die Roten, as they start preparing another world class side that can compete on all fronts.
Matthaus also added that a transfer from City to Bayern would be the ideal scenario for all the parties involved due to Sane’s game time issues under Pep Guardiola.
Bayern have reportedly lodged a first bid in the region of €80 million for the German winger, but other sources claim there have been no official bids. Despite Uli Hoeness’ recent claim that he doesn’t see his club breaking the €80 million mark on a single transfer, Matthaus thinks Bayern will have to break their transfer record yet again to sign Sane.
Leroy Sane has been a crucial player for Man City in the past two seasons. He has found a very good level of consistency under Guardiola. His numbers have improved, too; he ended each of his last two campaigns in England with double digits for both goals and assists.

Bayern Munich will have a fantastic set of wide players if they manage to bring in the 23-year-old over the summer.
