True: @LFC was interested in @LeroySane19. BUT: @LeroySane19 knows that as a player from @ManCity cannot switch to @LFC . he wouldn't do that to fans. therefore the transfer was never an option for him. moreover: @LeroySane19 only wants to go to @FCBayern https://t.co/LpGHPo7XSa

It will be interesting to see if the former Schalke man can get his return to the Bundesliga and continue to shine with Bayern.
His potential exit would be a loss for the Premier League, though, as he’s truly been a joy to watch for City in one of the most impressive teams ever seen in English football.
