Karl-Heinz Rummenigge Says Bayern Will Try to Sign Leroy Sane Amid Bid Rumours

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has said the club will try to sign Leroy Sane from Manchester City this summer amid speculation the German champions have made an €80 million (£71 million) offer for the winger.

Speculation has been intensifying regarding Sane's future at the Etihad Stadium, as he lost his place as a first-team regular in the final weeks of the campaign. City boss Pep Guardiola has also spoken of how the club have sought to tie the German forward down to a new contract but to no avail.

Bayern are one of the teams linked with a move for Sane, and when asked about the prospect of a move for the City man at a Bild event on Friday (h/t Adam Shergold of the MailOnline), Rummenigge said there is interest.
