The German’s current deal expires in 2021 and City have found some resistance from Sane’s side over signing an extension.
The winger was a £37million signing from Schalke in 2016 and has developed into one of the finest forwards in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola.
Sane remains on the same deal that he signed in three years ago and earns around £65,000-a-week at the Etihad.
Sane’s representatives are seeking a far bigger deal and cited Anthony Martial’s bumper £190,000-a-week deal at neighbours Manchester United as proof of what the German could earn elsewhere.

As such, the two parties are nearing a figure closer to £160,000-a-week and City are confident now that Sane will sign the deal before the end of the season.
