Earlier this month, it was reported that Leroy Sane had agreed to a five-year deal with Bayern Munich.
Everything that remains is an agreement between Manchester City and Bayern Munich on valuing the player.
Bayern Munich has yet to reach the price set by Manchester City, meaning that the transaction could once again be stalled.
However, City now has their eyes set on 22-year-old Jamaican Bayer Leverkusen winger, Leon Bailey.
In previous transfer windows, Bailey has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Manchester United but a move to the Premier League last summer fell through after he suffered a severe hamstring injury.
Football critics and fans have shared their dismay at Bailey being a possible replacement.
Manchester City fans, in particular, have made it clear that they want their club to keep a hold of Leroy Sane by all means.
If at all the German winger is to be sold, then Jadon Sancho would be the preferred replacement.
