Manchester, Jul 1 (IANS): Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Wednesday conceded that forward Leroy Sane is on his way to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich after he rejected a new deal last month.

It was earlier reported by German media outlets that the two teams had agreed a fee in the region of 55 million pounds and Sane would put pen to paper in a deal that would run till 2025.

Speaking during pre-match press conference ahead of the much-anticipated Liverpool clash, Guardiola revealed that the transfer is almost done and Sane is on his way back to Germany.

"Looks like, if not already, done" Guardiola told reporters through video conference as per Daily Mail. "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," he added.

Sane started his senior club career with Bundesliga side Schalke in 2014 and Manchester City came calling in 2016 and acquired his services for a reported fee of 37 million pounds. During his stay in England, he won the Premier League twice and FA Cup once.
