Leroy Sane has already hinted which team he would join between Man City and Liverpool

Leroy Sane has previously made an indication as to which of Liverpool or Manchester City he would be joining.

According to reports, Jurgen Klopp has designated the Bayern Munich winger as his primary candidate to take over for Mohamed Salah at Anfield.

Bild, a German news outlet, reports that since then, Premier League rivals Manchester City have emerged and are reportedly interested in resigning the German next summer.

This could potentially affect Liverpool’s transfer aspirations considerably, given that Sane previously disclosed his preference for joining City rather than the Reds in 2016.

“I was conversing with them [Liverpool] as well.” Jurgen was also calling and conversing with me. “That was prior to my 2018 City membership,” Sane told the Guardian.

“I encountered him during his tenure at [Borussia] Dortmund, where he performed admirably. He is a decent, nice, and trustworthy individual. “He has performed admirably for Liverpool.”

Sane’s remarks upon his departure from the club in 2020, however, may reduce his aversion to a potential return to the Etihad.

He told Bild (as cited in the Manchester Evening News) in regard to his decision to join Bayern: “I desire to play, but I do not expect to start every match. No player in the world is capable of reaching his highest level by playing every match. “I have objectives, but my opposition to rotation is zero percent, nothing, nothing.”

Fans are frequently unable to anticipate Pep Guardiola’s next move, as he is notorious for rotating his squad; for instance, he utilized Bernardo Silva as a left-back last season.

According to the Premier League website, the City manager made 45 alterations to his starting XI during the treble-winning season of 2022/23, which was 31 more than their closest title rivals Arsenal.

Consequently, Sane, who has expressed his stance on succession, might reconsider reuniting with his former squad.

Alternatively, Sane’s position on Liverpool’s right flank would appear to be secured should Salah depart.
