5. (SOUNDBITE) (German) MIDFIELDER, LEROY SANE, SAYING:

"At the very beginning, when we had our first talks which were very good, the entire plan they proposed to me totally convinced me. And well, Bayern is a huge club. They have very big goals. And those goals go with mine. So, it was really the only choice for me."

6. (SOUNDBITE) (German) MIDFIELDER, LEROY SANE, SAYING:

"The goals are fairly obvious to me: to win as many title as possible. Of course, the Champions League is very high up there. I never won that, and I think that everybody dreams of winning that. So, it's a big goal of mine."

7. (SOUNDBITE) (German) MIDFIELDER, LEROY SANE, SAYING:

"I know Hansi (Flick - Bayern coach) from U21 national team. And we had a very good relationship then. So, I knew what was expected of me. Hence, I think it will be a very good cooperation between us."

8. (SOUNDBITE) (German) BAYERN MUNICH CEO, KARL-HEINZ RUMMENIGGE, SAYING:

"It is our aim to gather the best players at FC Bayern Munich. And now we have another jewel at the club. I really want to say a big thanks to Hasan (Salihamidzic - Bayern Sporting Director). He really fought hard and was thankfully successful. He did very well and earned huge merits. And we are happy. I think Sane comes across as very likeable and friendly. We know the player from the pitch. But I think it is very important for a team for a player to fit in. And Sane appears to be doing that."

STORY: Leroy Sane has completed his move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich from Manchester City, the German club announced on Friday (July 3).

Sane, 24, had signed a five-year deal with Bayern that would keep him at the club until 2025, the club said on their website.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but British and German media reported last week that Bayern would pay 45 million euros ($50.52 million dollars) plus add-ons for the winger.

Sane joined City from Schalke 04 in 2016 and had 39 goals and 45 assists in 135 appearances in all competitions. He was an integral part of their league title winning squads in 2017-18 and 2018-19.

He has also made 21 appearances for the German national team, scoring five goals.

"FC Bayern is a great club with big goals - and these goals suit me as well. I'm looking forward to the new challenge and can't wait to train with the team," Sane said.

"I want to win as many trophies as possible with FC Bayern, and the Champions League is the top priority."

($1 = 0.8907 euros)
