"That’s a player who can immediately take us higher, who improves the team."But City are not ready to let the winger leave just yet, as coach Pep Guardiola believes he is still a crucial part of the team. "We are one-and-a-half years trying to sign his [new] contract. We want him,"he told reporters recently. "If you want to extend his contract, it's because you want him. You're not going to extend his contract because you don't want him."He added: "He's competing with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva. It's not easy. If you want to play in for competitions for the quadruple we need Leroy, Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo, we can't compete for the quadruple with just two wingers." Sane's compatriot and City team-mate Ilkay Gundogan reiterated Guardiola's message dismissing speculation over a transfer."If players in our team at one or another time do not play, it has now become a normal fact that there are automatic rumours," he told  Sport Bild last week ."As our coach has already said, the club wants to keep Leroy."</blockquote>
