The new agency which will represent Manchester City star Leroy Sane from next month has held a secret meeting with Bayern Munich, according to reports.
Sane is yet to kick a ball for City this season after he suffered a serious knee ligament injury in the Community Shield victory over Liverpool in August, and only recently made his return to the pitch with the Under-23s against Arsenal.
However, that hasn't dampened the German giants' desire to take Sane back to his homeland after high-ranking club officials once again started discussing the potential transfer in the media.
City were irked by Bayern's charm offensive to try and lure Sane to Bavaria last summer, so much so that then-manager Nico Kovac was forced to apologise after saying he was 'confident' the deal would be done.
However, according to SportBild, via SportWitness, Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic held a meeting with LIAN Sports, who will represent Sane from April 1.
It's claimed that Bayern want to offer a five-year deal to Sane but Real Madrid and Barcelona threaten to hijack the deal.
Meanwhile, City reportedly want Leeds United to sign Brazilian teenager Yan Couto on loan at the end of the season.
City announced the signing of the 17-year-old right-back on March 1 but he isn’t set to arrive in England until the summer.
The Athletic claim that, after City beat Leeds to the deal for Couto, they are now willing to loan him out after his official arrival from Brazilian side Coritiba. He would follow City winger Jack Harrison in going on loan to Elland Road.
