Schalke 04's Leroy Sane coy on Manchester links

Leroy Sane remains tight-lipped over speculation that he could swap Schalke 04 for a place in the Premier League with either Manchester City or Manchester United.

Schalke 04 midfielder Leroy Sane has refused to be drawn in on speculation concerning his future, claiming that he is simply focused on this summer's European Championships.

The 20-year-old is a reported target for Premier League rivals Manchester City and Manchester United, who are both thought to be weighing up £40m bids.

Sane is not concerned about the ongoing talk, however, and is instead focusing all his attention on nailing down a place in the Germany squad - announced next Tuesday - and in turn helping his national side to success at Euro 2016 should he be selected.

"I am here with a goal in mind and that is to be in the final Euro squad," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Star. "I have not thought about any of this [speculation].

"I will see what happens on May 31. I still have a contract at Schalke and I feel well there. Everything else is in the background at the moment and my focus is on the Euros."

Sane, also linked with a move to Barcelona in the past, scored nine goals for Schalke from his attacking midfield position last season.
