Schalke are expecting a bid of around £35m for their forward Leroy Sané from Manchester City in the next week. Related: Premier League transfers: who has done the best business so far? Manchester City have already signed Ilkay Gündogan from Borussia Dortmund, Nolito from Celta Vigo and Oleksandr Zinchenko from the Ukrainian club FC Ufa this summer.
