Schalke’s sporting director Christian Heidel has denied claims that English Premier League giants Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign German international Leroy Sane. The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Etihad stadium in the January transfer window and reports had suggested that a £40m deal was on the cards.

He told German newspaper Bild: "The story is incorrect, nothing has changed with Leroy Sane."

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel’s agent Mithat Halis has revealed that the 31-year-old is on the verge of leaving Anfield with Turkish giants Fenerbahce and German side Wolfsburg interested in the services of the Slovakian. Halis also revealed that Skrtel has offers from China.

The 31-year-old, who has made over 300 appearances for the Reds since joining in 2007, is currently in France with his national team competing in the group stage of Euro 2016. Skrtel was dropped to the bench for Liverpool’s Europa League final against Sevilla in May, which Jurgen Klopp’s side went on to lose 3-1.

Fenerbahce have been interested for four years but there are also offers from China and Wolfsburg also want him,” Halis was quoted as saying by Radyspor.

Liverpool have suffered a setback in their pursuit of Borussia Moenchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud, as the German outfit are reluctant to let go of their prized asset after losing captain Granit Xhaka to Arsenal last month.

According to goal, the Anfield outfit will now have to wait until next summer if they are to sign the Syrian-born German footballer, who is valued at £20m.
