Reigning English champion Manchester City has developed a reputation for signing the most promising players in the world, especially under current manager, Pep Guardiola. The Cityzens’ relentless pursuit of improvement ensures there is always competition for places, there are always players who are unhappy with the minutes they are getting.
Naturally, not all players are satisfied with waiting in the wings for their chances, which is why they end up handing in their transfer requests. Unlike many clubs, City has never kept players against their wishes. The club has always been happy to approve a sale when it receives an offer worth accepting.
In today’s list, we will check out the biggest offers it has accepted over the years. Here are the five most expensive departures in the history of Manchester City:
#5 Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich: €49 million ($53.96 million)
Leroy Sane Has Contributed To 98 Goals For Bayern Munich
One of Pep Guardiola’s first signings at Manchester City, Leroy Sane joined the club from Schalke for a €52 million ($57.26 million) fee in July 2016. The winger took little time to settle in, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 26 Premier League matches across the 2016-17 season. He continued his remarkable development over the next couple of years, but suffered an ACL tear in the 2019-20 season, missing almost the entire campaign as a result.
After recovering from the injury, Sane admittedly thought a new challenge would be great for him and his family. So after an intense period of negotiations, he joined Bayern Munich in a €49 million ($53.96 million) deal. He had played 135 games for City, scoring 39 times, claiming 43 assists, and winning two Premier League titles.
Sane has been a regular contributor at Bayern Munich since the 2020-21 season. He has played 175 games for the Bavarians, contributing to 98 goals — 48 goals and 50 assists — and winning three Bundesliga titles amongst other honors.
