Manchester City have been negotiating with Leroy Sane over a new contract since October, and according to manager Pep Guardiola, the negotiations are going well.
The winger joined City from Schalke 04 in 2016 in a £37million deal, and though he took a little while to adjust to the demands of the Premier League, he was a crucial part of their impressive title-winning run that saw Guardiola s team pick up an even 100 points.
However, he was surprisingly left out of Germany s World Cup squad, and the tournament proved disastrous for Joachim Low s chosen men. And with the arrival of Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City later in the summer, Sane has seen his time on the pitch significantly reduced.
Naturally, such a downturn in a player s fortunes has led to various speculations about a possible thought of leaving the club, but Guardiola has now moved to dismiss such reports by revealing that an agreement over a new deal is near.
