Schalke 04 attacker Leroy Sane closes in on a £40m move to Premier League side Manchester City, according to a report.

Manchester City are reportedly closing in on a £40m deal for Schalke 04 attacker Leroy Sane.

The 20-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Germany at Euro 2016, is believed to be a leading transfer target for new Man City boss Pep Guardiola this summer.

It is understood that Schalke are keen to keep the youngster in their ranks, but according to Manchester Evening News, a deal could soon be announced after the two clubs agreed on a price of £40m.

Sane, who can operate in a wide position as well as down the middle, scored nine times in 42 appearances for Schalke last season, including eight goals in the Bundesliga.
