Mikel Oyarzabal has had a great start to the season at Real Sociedad and continues being one of the key men in the team. The young, 22-year-old has already scored four goals.
Add to this the three assists and his numbers from last season and it makes him one of Manchester City's targets for the next transfer market, in 2020.
The player could be heading to the Premier League and work under Pep Guardiola, as long as there is room in the squad. Sane needs to leave in order for him to come in.
But the German will pack his bags sooner rather than later to go to Bayern Munich, a club that almost paid the 100 million euros before he injured his knee.
When this operation takes place, City will have plenty to cope with the 75 million euros of Oyarzabal's termination clause, which would be thinking about whether to continue in this life-long club or to make a qualitative leap in his career.
