Manchester City will hope to secure the services of young Germany wideman Leroy Sane in the coming days, reports German publication Bild.
Sane has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, with City eager to bolster their wide options in the wake of Pep Guardiola’s appointment.
Schalke had been reluctant to cash in on the 20-year-old, but are now willing to part ways with the winger, who looks set to cost City upwards of £40m.
After breaking onto the scene in 2014, the youngster became a key figure for the Bundesliga side and impressed last season netting eight goals and registered a further six assists.
Indeed, he completed more dribbles (91) than any other player in Germany’s top tier last term.
