Manchester City 'offered David Alaba-Leroy Sane swap deal'

Bayern Munich reportedly offered Manchester City the chance to sign David Alaba as part of their efforts to land Leroy Sane.

The 24-year-old has not featured for Pep Guardiola's side this season through injury, but he has been persistently linked with a return to his native Germany recently.

According to Bild, Alaba, whose contract at Bayern expires next summer, was suggested by agent Pini Zahavi to be included in a deal for Sane.

However, the report also claims that neither the defender nor Zahavi wanted to go through with the deal in the end, and Alaba would allegedly prefer a move to La Liga should he end up leaving the Bundesliga champions.

Sane has registered 39 goals in 134 games for City since arriving from Schalke 04 in 2016.
