Rumors that Bayern would have liked to swap David Alaba for Leroy Sané have no basis in reality, says Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

"I have heard rumors that we would like to give David Alaba to Manchester City in exchange for Leroy Sané. Let me make it quite clear: this is a fairy tale and has nothing to do with reality," Rummenigge told tz.
Bayern München are hoping to extend the contract of Alaba, whose deal runs until 2021.
But the 27-year-old has admitted he's considering his future, with Spain understood to be his preferred destination should he leave.
