Bayern Munich are prepared to pull out all the stops to land Manchester City winger Leroy Sané this summer in what will assuredly be a very expensive deal.
With Philippe Coutinho set to return back to Barcelona, Bild reports that Bayern will offer Sané the club’s coveted number 10 shirt.
Bayern legends Arjen Robben, Lothar Matthäus, and Brian Laudrup have all donned the number 10 for the German giants in the past and Bayern are ready to add the illustrious shirt number to sweeten the deal.
However, it’s actually unknown whether Sané would even accept the number 10 shirt as he has worn the number 19 for most of his professional career.
It wouldn’t be the first time Sané has graced the number 10, however, as he occasionally wore the shirt as a member of Schalke’s U-19s.
Bayern’s number 19 shirt is currently occupied by Alphonso Davies, who may be reluctant to give up his number after his unbelievable breakout season.
