# Manchester City: Fans slam Bayern Munich over their conduct in Leroy Sane transfer saga

**A lot of Manchester City fans have voiced their unhappiness with Bayern Munich over their conduct in their ongoing pursuit of Leroy Sane.**

Earlier this week, German media outlet [Sport Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-summe-hinterlegt-neue-verhandlungsbasis-bei-leroy-san-70462974.bild.html) reported that the Bundesliga champions have agreed a five-year deal for the winger and are now trying to thrash out a deal with the Etihad Stadium outfit.

> Bayern's constant attacks and efforts to make their interest in the player public have ended up breaking the relationship with the club.

However, [AS](https://as.com/futbol/2020/05/06/internacional/1588772614_652492.html) reported \[via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/spain-man-city-unhappy-bayerns-constant-attacks-sane-talk-e40m-bid-seen-new-offence/)\] that Manchester City have regarded Bayern’s reported €40m (£34.85m) bid as a “new offence” by the German club and are unhappy about their “constant attacks” to try and lure Sane to his homeland, with the relationship between the two clubs becoming tainted. Twitter channel [@SuperbiaProelia](https://twitter.com/SuperbiaProeIia/status/1258049361239474178) informed followers of the latest developments.

[AS](https://as.com/futbol/2020/05/06/internacional/1588772614_652492.html) added that Bayern had tried to sign the 24-year-old winger last summer as well – [Sport Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen-summe-hinterlegt-neue-verhandlungsbasis-bei-leroy-san-70462974.bild.html) claimed the Bundesliga side were offering €100m (£87.13m) – only for the player’s anterior cruciate ligament rupture in August to nix any prospect of a deal being done in 2019. Sane has [not played for Manchester City’s first team](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leroy-sane/leistungsdaten/spieler/192565) since [incurring that injury](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/leroy-sane-injury-update-man-city-news-knee-ligament-acl-how-long-recovery-time-bayern-munich-a9047391.html) in the Community Shield nine months ago.
