Bayern Munich officially confirm £55m capture of Leroy Sane who puts pen to paper of five-year deal... hours after Bundesliga champions apologised to Manchester City for publishing contract signing pictures too early

Bayern Munich have confirmed the £55million signing of Leroy Sane – hours after the German giants were forced to apologise for accidentally publishing pictures of the winger signing his contract before an official announcement was made.

Sane put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions, keeping him at the club until June 2025.

But before either club could confirm the deal, official photos of the 24-year-old signing his new contract were posted on the Arabic version of Bayern's website on Thursday, shortly before they started doing the rounds on social media.
