#4 Leroy Sané – Manchester City

Sané is seen as the future star of the German national side

Convincing Manchester City to part with Leroy Sané may be easier said than done. The German international made the mega-money move from Schalke 04 in August 2016 and has since become a real star under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.

Sané took four months to settle into Premier League life and has now become an integral part of Guardiola's plans going forward. Like a young Arjen Robben, Sané is gaining plaudits for his directness, pace and eye for goal.

In fact, he is City's fourth highest goalscorer this season despite only notching his first goal during the side's Premier League victory over Arsenal in December.

An enormous offer could prise the 21-year-old away from Manchester City, and having grown up in Germany, his head may be turned by the opportunity to play for the country’s biggest club.

Sané did turn down Bayern Munich's approaches before opting for a summer switch to the Etihad Stadium but could be lured back to Germany soon enough.
