Man City star Leroy Sane in the middle of a bidding war between Nike, Adidas and Puma

LEROY SANE is at the centre of a multi-million pound bidding war — between three boot suppliers.
The Manchester City winger has a Nike deal worth £750,000 per year.
It expires in 2020 and has sparked a tussle which could impact where the German plays next.
Adidas want Sane as the face of his national team and the firm have a say at Bayern Munich, who are after the £80m-rated star.
But City’s new shirt sponsors Puma also hope to add him to their stable and keep the 23-year-old at the Etihad.
Bayern will step up their attempts to sign Sane when he returns from holiday in a move that could end of their pursuit of Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi.
With the Chelsea starlet out of contract next summer, Bayern tested the water by launching bids of up to £35million earlier in the summer - which were rejected.
New Blues boss Frank Lampard has insisted that Hudson-Odoi should stay at Stamford Bridge and wants to make him into a "world class" player.
And SunSport revealed last month that the player will happily put pen to paper on a five-year deal if given assurances over playing time.
That is the pitch of Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who is now trying to fill the gaps left behind by Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben.
Rummenigge said at Lucas Hernandez's unveiling: "Leroy Sane's situation is that he is coming back from his holidays this week and he did not want to talk during the off-season.

"He wanted to think about his future. He certainly has.
"Now we have to wait and see if something is moving in our direction.
"It is no secret that we are still looking for a player for the wide areas. We are on the ball."
