MANCHESTER, England (AP) - Manchester City forward Leroy SanÃ© could leave the club after rejecting offers of a contract extension.

The 24-year-old SanÃ©, a German international and target for Bayern Munich, has one year left on his contract at City, meaning the club will have to negotiate the player's sale if it is to receive a transfer fee.

'œLeroy has rejected to extend his contract. Everyone knows. If at the end of the season two clubs agree, he can leave. If not he will leave at the end of his contract,'ť City coach Pep Guardiola said Friday. 'œThe club offered two or three times and he rejected it.'ť

SanÃ© returned against Arsenal on Wednesday after almost a year out with a knee ligament injury sustained in the Community Shield against Liverpool in August, an injury that foiled his move to Bayern at the time.

Guardiola said SanÃ© will stay with the Premier League club until the end of the extended season, having initially been due to leave at the end of June.
