The future of Leroy Sane is still up for grabs. Bayern have been long interested in the player but City are adamant not to lose one of their main stars.
Guardiola heaped praise on the youngster and was clear that they are adamant to keep him.
“He did a good game, especially in the second half. He is a guy who we appreciate, I like him a lot,” said Guardiola after City’s 6-1 win over Kitchee in Hong Kong.
“I think he can be better. Two times, three times I said: we want him to stay.
“That’s why he has an offer to extend his contract. It’s not in our hands.
“The agreement is good and if he wants to leave, I’ll be sad. Hopefully, he stays.”
However, to up the ante, Kovac said that Bayern consider Sane to be their dream signing.
“We all know that Leroy Sané is our dream player,” the Bayern boss told reporters.
“The public knows that, we know that.
You can see that the transfer is not easy. But I know that our people are working very hard to make it happen.
“We will do everything to realise this transfer.”
