Manchester City target Leroy Sane has been told that remaining at Schalke will be better for his development by new teammate Naldo. City have been linked with a £40 million move for the 20-year-old, who is currently at the European Championships with the Germany national side. However, Naldo who will join Schalke on a free transfer from Wolfsburg, has urged the winger to remain at Schalke for another season to further improve. The 33-year-old says that Sane should follow the example of his former Werder Bremen teammate Mesut Ozil, who rejected high-profile offers in 2009. Ozil became Werder's main playmaker -- making 46 appearances and securing his place in the national team for the 2010 World Cup. Naldo told German newspaper Sport Bild: "He needs trust for his development. He gets that at Schalke, that's why it's important that he stays. "He should follow Mesut Ozil's example, with whom I played at Bremen. He had top offers from abroad in 2009, but stayed another year to ripen because he knew he'd play at Bremen. The right move. He was all geared up for Real [Madrid] in 2010, and today is one of the best midfielders in Europe." Sane has made a huge an impact at Schalke this season -- scoring nine goals in 42 appearances to earn a place in Joachim Low's Euro 2016 squad. He has won three caps for Germany and former Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola is believed to be keen to take him to the Etihad. City have already made one signing from the Bundesliga this summer with Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan joining from Borussia Dortmund on a four-year deal for a reported £21m.
