Pep Guardiola wants Leroy Sane to stay amid strong exit links

Premier League Asia Trophy - West Ham United v Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has revealed that he expects the German speedster Leroy Sane to kick on with life at the Etihad despite all the noise pointing towards an exit. Pep claims that Manchester City's desire to keep Sane at the club has been "always there" and that he expects him to stay.

Sane, who has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, is not assured of first team minutes with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva being Pep's preferred men on the wings as of late.

Pep said,

"The club made him an offer last year. As I said many times, we want people happy to be here. We are going to help him to be the best.

"We know his potential and what his level is. He has a special quality difficult to find around the world. He knows, they all know, it's difficult (to play regularly) because of the quality we have.

"But, at the same time, I spoke to the club 10 times (to say) I want people here to be happy. If they don't want, they go. The desire to have him to be with us is always there."
