Sane, 24, spent the day in Munich yesterday completing his medical and meeting with club officials at the training ground.

The deal was confirmed this morning but had not gone through last night - so Bayern had to say sorry to City for their mistake.

Sane is set to pocket around £20m in “extras” over his five year stay at Bayern.

The flier was back in his homeland putting the finishing touches to his move to the Allianz Arena last night.

Sane will earn around £385,000 per week in wages in Bavaria – which works out around £19.8m per year.

But in addition, he will land a signing on fee – believed to be in the region of £10m – as a sweetener for joining the club.
