Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has urged the Bavarian club to pursue Manchester City winger Leroy Sane.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The German international\u00a0has been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena after falling down the Man City pecking order, starting just nine Premier League games in 2019.<\/p>\n

Could Sane leave City? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Despite scoring 16 goals and registering 14 assists across all competitions in 2018\/19, Sane fell out of favour towards the end of the campaign.<\/li>\n
  2. The 23-year-old started just nine league games following the turn of the year.<\/li>\n
  3. As such, Bayern Munich have emerged as hot favourites to secure his signature should he leave the North West.<\/li>\n
  4. With\u00a0Arjen Robben and\u00a0Franck Ribery set to leave the club next month, Bayern will be in the market for wingers.<\/li>\n
  5. Lewandowski has now endorsed the signing of Sane to the Bundesliga champions’ hierarchy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sane was directly involved in 30 goals across all competitions throughout the season, but endured a\u00a0discouraging second half of the campaign as he found himself on the bench nine times in the Premier League in 2019, failing to make the pitch on five occasions.<\/p>\n

    It will therefore come as no surprise to see the former\u00a0Schalke 04 player linked with a return to his homeland, and with Bayern set for a summer of monumental change, Sane could find his way to Bavaria.<\/p>\n

    Lewandowski will be keen to ensure he is still provided elite-level service after Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben bowed out with a seventh consecutive Bundesliga title last Saturday, and he has backed Sane to fill the void.<\/p>\n

    “That\u2019s a super player with great qualities and great potential,”\u00a0said<\/a> Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

    “I\u2019ve already seen many times how good he is. That\u2019s a player who can immediately take us higher, who improves the team.”<\/p>\n
