LOSING SANE WILL BE A BLOW SAYS GUARDIOLA

- By Gideon Brooks

PEP GUARDIOLA says he will be “disappoint­ed” to lose Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich this summer.

The Manchester City manager conceded his flying winger seems hell-bent on leaving after rejecting all the club’s offers of a new deal.

He said: “I’m so disappoint­ed. When we make an offer, it’s because we want him, he has a special quality.

“We tried [to extend his deal] before the injury and he rejected it.

If we get an agreement he’ll leave, if not he’ll stay one more year.”

Bayern are understood to have offered £30million for a player who has 12 months left on his contract.

Sane is thought to have agreed personal terms on a five-year deal in Germany, but City valued him at more than £100m last summer.

The club’s hierarchy have indicated they are willing to let Sane run down his contract.
