Salah is Real Madrid's no.1 transfer priority with the club readying a £180 million move for the Egyptian. Meanwhile, the Spanish giants are looking to open the bidding for Sane at £80 million. 

Manchester City are not keen on offloading Sane and are set to demand Isco in return.

The Croatian told the press, "I hope he doesn't leave. He knows it, I think fans want him with us as much as I want that, but as I always said he has to make a choice, he has to discuss it with his family. His decision will be respected by all of us."
