BAYERN MUNICH have confirmed they are still keen on signing Leroy Sane from Manchester City.
The Bundesliga giants were close to capturing the 24-year-old’s signature last summer before he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the Community Shield win over Liverpool.

And they were forced to look elsewhere for new wide-men following Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery’s exits.
Callum Hudson-Odoi was another target but he eventually stayed at Chelsea before signing a new contract.
Bayern ended up landing both Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona and Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan on loan.
But club president Herbert Hainer admits Sane remains a target for the Champions League hopefuls.
He said: “Leroy Sane is a great player that we are interested in, which is a well-known fact.
“Now we have to see how he comes back after his injury.”
Bayern won’t have to wait much longer, with Sane already back in training with City.
His contract also expires in 2021, and how he performs between now and the end of the season could define his immediate career.
City boss Pep Guardiola said: “He has started training with us. It’s good news.
“He’s moving surprisingly very well.”
