Man City star Leroy Sane a confirmed transfer target for Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich want to sign Manchester City winger Leroy Sane as the Bundesliga giants seek to rebuild their attack this summer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed.

The German champions are looking for attacking wide players to replace the departing Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, who have been central to their success over the past decade.

Sane joined City from Schalke in 2016, but has not always been a regular starter under Pep Guardiola.

"We will try. I can not promise whether it will succeed," Bayern chairman Rummenigge, speaking at a Bild event in Berlin, said on a potential move for Sane.

He added: "We already had the idea when he was still with Schalke.

"But at that time we did not have a guaranteed regular place for him.

"Robben and Ribery were top of the top three years ago."

Bayern take on RB Leipzig in the final of the DFB-Pokal on Saturday.
