Leroy Sane admits turning down Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool... while Pep Guardiola tells the Manchester City star to 'play with freedom and to have fun like Lionel Messi'

Since completing a £37million move from Schalke to Manchester City in 2016, Leroy Sane has gone on to become one of the Premier League's most exciting talents.

The winger made his senior debut for Schalke in 2014 scoring 13 goals in over 50 appearances, elevating him to one of Europe's most promising attackers.

Following his impressive start to his career, the German began to attract a lot interest from several of England's big boys and the 22-year-old reveals that he turned down the chance to play under compatriot Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool a year-and-a-half ago.
