Manchester City did something unusual during the previous summer transfer window. After securing a £33m deal to sign Savinho from Troyes, City signed Ilkay Gundogan on a free transfer from Barcelona, just one year after he left the Etihad Stadium as a free agent after a seven-year spell with the Blues.
Once the deal was announced, Txiki Begiristain described Gundogan’s return as a “fantastic” move for everyone at City.
However, looking ahead to the next summer transfer window, the Blues could have an opportunity to do the same thing again with another player they previously signed.
In a recent post on his official X account, journalist Florian Plettenberg shared this update concerning former City winger Leroy Sane and his current contract situation at Bayern Munich.
Signed during the same summer transfer window as Gundogan, Sane arrived at City back in 2016. Spending four years at the Manchester club, the winger joined Bayern in 2020 for an overall fee of £54.8m.
