Leroy Sane reportedly wants out of Manchester City and has told teammates he wants to leave this summer amid intense Bayern Munich speculation.
The 23-year-old continues to attract interest from Bayern Munich who've already had one bid rejected for the player, but it appears he has informed his City colleagues of his intentions.
According to The Athletic, Sane has told his teammates he wants to leave the club.
But the Premier League champions are holding for a whopping £135 million from Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga giants have publicly courted Sane all summer with Niko Kovac confident in striking a deal with City.

Sane, meanwhile, played just 13 minutes of the Community Shield on Sunday before hobbling off with a knee injury.
However, Guardiola's confident his injury isn't too serious.
"The first impression was not good," the City boss said after the Community Shield victory. "But I think not bad I don't know as I have not spoken to the doctor.
"I will wait but I think he will be okay."
The Spaniard wants Sane to stay but insists the decision rests with the player.
"He has to decide. If he wants and there is an agreement, then it's good. But if he wants to leave, he can do it. We will be sad - hopefully he stays."
Sane began his professional career in Germany's top flight with Schalke before completing a £37 million transfer to City in 2016.
