Like any football manager would do after loosing a prized asset, Pep Guardiola has expressed regret after scintillating winger Leroy Sane completed his move to Bayern Munich. In his regret statement, He however wished Leroy Sane well at Bayern Munich.
City completed a deal with the Bundesliga champions that could be worth a potential £55million on Tuesday after battling for two years to tie him down to a contract.
Sane, 24, had already agreed a five-year contract with the German champions after making it clear his future lay away from the Etihad Stadium - and Guardiola spoke about the deal on Wednesday.
Looks like, if not already, done,' Guardiola said, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash against Liverpool on Thursday. 'There are still some little issues. Wish him all the best on his new chapter.
'He will have another chapter at a fantastic club in Bayern Munich. He wanted to leave. Everyone has their own life and he decided to move on.
'I would have loved for him to stay but he believed he would be better and happier there.'
City reportedly valued the 24 years old winger at more than £130m last summer as the two clubs disputed over the asking price, before an anterior cruciate ligament injury Sane sustained halted the deal. City quickly cashed out on Sane for fear of loosing him for free
