Manchester City winger Leroy Sane remains a key target for Bayern Munich, with latest reports on Wednesday suggesting that the reigning Bundesliga champions have launched a bid of \u00a335 million. <\/p>\n\n\n

The report also added that Bayern had agreed on a five-year-contract<\/span><\/a> with Sane, and while those developments seem a little premature, it is a well-known fact that the Bavarian giants are hell-bent on adding the 24-year-old to their ranks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The move almost went through last year, as Manchester City<\/span><\/a> asked for a whopping \u00a388 million, but Sane sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Liverpool in the Community Shield last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The German player is now returning to full fitness slowly, and as a consequence, Bayern Munich<\/span><\/a> have stepped up their efforts to secure his services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Sane\u2019s contract runs until the summer of 2021, and thus, Manchester City would be wise to cash-in on him this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n

While the transfer saga is far from over just yet, here are three ways Bayern Munich can line up with Leroy Sane.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

#3 On either flanks in 4-1-4-1<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Leroy Sane would be the perfect choice for Bayern Munich on either flanks in a 4-1-4-1 system.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Bundesliga giants have played this formation quite a few times in the current campaign, especially against teams which sit deep. If they decide to stick to this system, then it will benefit their would-be signing a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sane, being a left-footed player can play on the left-flank or he could also be deployed on the right, as an inverted winger. <\/p>\n\n\n

The youngster\u2019s pace and dribbling would help Bayern stretch opposition teams, with Robert Lewandowski waiting in the middle to wreak havoc. <\/p>\n\n\n

While still a rare option, Sane\u2019s versatility would help the Bavarians to switch between formations with ease. A 4-1-4-1 would also suit Thomas Muller, who plays best just off Lewandowski. <\/p>\n\n\n

#2 Anywhere across the front line in 4-2-3-1<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\"
Sane is adept at playing on both wings and can play as a no. 10 as well for Bayern Munich in a 4-2-3-1 formation.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Bayern Munich have played the majority of their matches this season in a 4-2-3-1 formation, as it helps them bring out the best of both Muller and Philippe Coutinho since both are well suited to a number 10 role.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Sane too can play as a playmaker in the centre of the park, although his attributes are best suited on the flanks. <\/p>\n\n\n

As mentioned above, the 24-year-old is adept at playing on either wing and that\u2019s where he does most of the damage, using his pace to get in behind defences and deliver the goods. <\/p>\n\n\n

The 4-2-3-1 is a balanced formation, given that the two players in midfield can switch roles constantly. One of them can venture forward, while the other would be tasked to mop up the danger.  <\/p>\n\n\n

#1 As a wide forward in 4-3-3<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\"
Sane has had immense success as a wide forward in a 4-3-3 system favoured by Pep Guardiola. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Given the attacking arsenal that Bayern Munich have, a 4-3-3 set-up would be best suited to them, as it would help create a mouth-watering attacking trio of Leroy Sane, Robert Lewandowski, and Serge Gnabry. <\/p>\n\n\n

Gnabry and Sane are teammates at the international level, so they have a natural understanding, which would benefit them a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n

Moreover, most of the big sides across Europe play in a 4-3-3 formation – look at Liverpool, Juventus, or even Manchester City. Sane has plenty of experience playing as a wide forward under Pep Guardiola, and it could come handy at the Allianz Arena as well. <\/p>\n\n\n

He would allow Bayern Munich to play multiple systems, without tweaking much to the team\u2019s overall philosophy. <\/p>\n\n\n

By signing the German winger, Bayern would be adding a player who is quick, versatile, has an eye for a goal, and above all, is still very young.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
