Leroy Sane served the sidelines for most of ongoing season with an injury, but played an integral role in City’s domestic treble last year.

Guardiola recently admitted his disappointment over the deal Leroy turned down to stay at City.

“I’m so disappointed,” Guardiola said. “When we make an offer it’s because we want him; he’s got a special quality that is difficult to find.

“We tried before the injury [and] the surgery and after that and he rejected this offer. He has other wishes and I understand [but] we want players who want to commit and achieve our targets.

“I love him so much, he’s incredible, I’ve nothing against him – he wants another adventure.”
