Tottenham have signed French forward Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich.
Spurs have agreed to pay a fee of about £30m for the 20-year-old, who will sign a six-year contract when his loan deal ends on 30 June.
Tel, who is with the France squad at the European Under-21 Championship, joined Spurs on loan during the January transfer window.
He made 20 appearances for Spurs last season, scoring three goals, and was an unused substitute for their victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final.
The Bundesliga champions were keen on keeping the winger but Sane rejected the offer of a contract extension.
Bayern had included Sane in their 29-man squad for the Club World Cup, which begins on 15 June.
However, he is set to complete a deal with Galatasaray in the coming days, with the Athletic, external reporting he has verbally agreed a three-year deal with the Turkish club.
Sane, who won six major trophies in four years with City, claimed three consecutive Bundesliga titles during his first three seasons at Bayern before a fourth last term.
He scored 61 goals in 220 matches for Bayern, including 13 in 45 matches last season.
FLORIAN WIRTZ reportedly chose Liverpool over Bayern Munich after being given an irresistible promise by Arne Slot.
The highly-rated German star was courted by both clubs but in the end the guarantee of the No10 role tipped the scales in the Reds’ favour.

According to Caughtoffside, Wirtz revealed that the decision was ultimately made after Slot assured him he would be THE playmaker in his Liverpool team.
While Bayern offered him the prospect of competing in their world-class side, the path to regular first-team football was far from clear.
Jamal Musiala’s rapid rise at the Allianz Arena and the presence of more established players such as Joshua Kimmich meant that Wirtz would have had to fight for his place in the midfield.
But at Liverpool, it is a different story – he would be the main man at Anfield.
The creative hub of the team, controlling the game from midfield and leading Liverpool’s attack.
Slot promised Wirtz full control of the No10 role, a position that would be his alone.
This clear-cut offer of a starring role was a far cry from the uncertainty Bayern offered.
In the end Wirtz made his choice opting for the chance to be Liverpool’s attacking leader.
The fact that Liverpool have won the Premier League in Slot’s first season is also contributing factor as it has highlighted the manager’s ability to bring the best out of young players.
The Dutch manager has been able to get the best out of both old and new faces with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk enjoying stellar campaign as well as Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo
