Bayern Munich President Says Leroy Sane Transfer Will Be Financially Difficult

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness says trying to sign Leroy Sane from Manchester City will be financially "very difficult" for the Bundesliga champions.

The Germany international has been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena but Hoeness has poured doubt on whether his club will be able to afford a deal in an interview with Sport Bild (h/t Ryan Benson at Goal).

"I do not have exact numbers yet, but I think that the financial framework is very difficult. The whole package is difficult."

Bayern Munich have made an initial bid of €80 million (£70 million) for Sane, according to the Guardian's Fabrizio Romano:
