Germany international Serge Gnabry has admitted that he wants international teammate Leroy Sane to leave Manchester City this summer and join him at Bayern Munich.
Despite Sane’s obvious ability, the 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from Pep Guardiola’s side who won their second successive Premier League title this season.

Speaking to reporters, Gnabry described Sane as “real asset” and that he would “love to have him in his team”.
“I would love to have him in my team. We get along really well, also off the pitch,” he said.
“He would help any team and it’s very fun for me to play with him. He would be a real asset for Bayern Munich.”
In an attempt to convince the City man to come back to his homeland this summer, Gnabry admitted he has already quizzed Sane on the topic but is yet to receive an answer.
Gnabry added: “I would say hello to him with a special handshake. I’ve already asked him about this topic, but he is the only one who can tell us what will happen.”
