City has played this well.

And generally the consistent message across three City sources makes clear they will sell Sane, but BM will need to cough up big money to pry him loose. This is the first number out of City.

This is where Bayern's public campaign will backfire, as City can keep him for another window or two and establish value by opening up the bidding to other teams by getting him onto the open market if he won't sign. They certainly don't need to sell and Bayern absolutely need to buy big.

Bayern love getting players on the cheap because they’re a destination club. They built up a war chest for this transfer period since they knew they needed new defenders and that they had to replace Robbery. If Timo goes to Bayern, it will likely be a free. Havertz will be 80-90m.

100m plus incentives for Sane is pretty good, Bayern isn’t in La Liga and if Sané won’t extend, his price won’t be going up unless this season was a monster for him. Unlikely, considering he wouldn’t get all the playing time outside.
