Bayern must be joking to think they can sign Leroy from City for just 40 million euros. Manchester City bought Sane from Schalke for 37 million pounds and the player has improved so much since his arrival at the Etihad, he should by now have doubled up in price on what city got him for. If Bayern Munich are really interested in the deal, then they must start making reasonable bids that's close to what city's asking price is, or else sane could just end up staying in City.

Well, nothing is impossible,,, and to be honest 40 million in a post coronavirus world is really not impossible these days. People are losing money. Clubs are losing money, and transfer values will be going down at least 50% in my opinion so 40 million today is like 80 million before covid-19. I think it is a great buy.

That is why I think the offer was 40 million dollars. Right now City is not going to make any more money from champions league in the next few years because they are banned from it and that is money gone. Leroy will want to be in a team like Bayern that will be in champions league and actually content and at the same time City (and Bayern and everyone else) missed out on so much more money and that is why I think any money is more valuable.

Players must have lost some value because of this issue, all teams lost money so nobody really has money to spend hundreds of millions of dollars this year. When you combine all of this together, that looks like maybe 40 million dollars in cash given for a player you can do without doesn't sound that bad. After all City will have to cut on expenses a bit.
