Manchester City open contract talks with Leroy Sane

Manchester City have reportedly opened up contract negotiations with Leroy Sane following his impressive form for the Citizens over the past 18 months.

According to The Telegraph, the Mancunian giants are making efforts to commit him to a new long-term contract despite him still having nearly three years left on his current deal.

Sane did have an indifferent start to the current campaign where he found himself out-of-favour under Pep Guardiola but he has managed to re-establish himself as a regular over the past month.

As such, the Premier League holders are seemingly keen on committing him for the long-term in order to ward off any potential interest from his suitors in the near future.

Aside from Sane, the reigning English champions are also in discussions over a new contract with Raheem Sterling, though they have yet to find any breakthrough in terms of extending his contract beyond the summer of 2020.
