Journalist reveals Leroy Sané is on Liverpool's transfer target list
Bild journalist Christian Falk has revealed that Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané is present Liverpoolthe list of transfer targets to potentially replace Mohamed Salah in the summer, as he revealed to Football365.
Falk has suggested that the Egyptian superstar will once again receive plenty of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs in the summer. If Liverpool decide to cash in on him, they will likely look in the market for replacements.
With less than 18 months left on Salah's current contract at Anfield, a decision will have to be made this summer. While the club was success in thwarting offers of the Saudi clubs last time, they may have to make a difficult decision.
Salah was always present during Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool this season until January, when he had to join the national team for the AFCON. Unfortunately for him, his campaign was cut short due to injury. The 31-year-old has made 27 appearances for the Reds this season in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and providing nine assists.
Leroy Sané could be a viable option
If Salah really left Liverpool, it would mark the end of an era. It's safe to say that the Egyptian has established himself as one of Anfield's current greats, alongside the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. The Reds will have to be careful when replacing one of their most prolific attackers.
This is where Leroy Sane comes in with a proven pedigree. Having played for city of manchester With Pep Guardiola before his move to Bayern Munich, he also has the experience of playing in the first division. Transfermarkt values the German winger around 61 million pounds but Liverpool may be able to get him for less as he only has one more year left on his contract this summer.
Falk has revealed that the player has not yet renewed his contract with Bayern and wants to decide his future in the summer. The journalist confirms that Liverpool have Sané on their wish list and the player is aware of his interest.
“It's true, Leroy Sané is on the Liverpool FC list,” Falk quotes Football365.
“From what I have heard, the Bayern player is aware of this interest, but has not yet decided how to proceed. He has changed direction and wants to decide in the summer.
If Liverpool can convince him to join them after the Euros, then the Bundesliga club might have to cash in.
The 28-year-old winger has been prolific for Thomas Tuchel's side this season. In 30 games in all competitions, he scored nine goals and provided 12 assists. Stylistically, he is much closer to how Salah plays than when he was at Manchester City. At the right price, signing Sané is a no-brainer for Liverpool.
Much would depend on the player's desire, what Bayern demands of him and, most importantly, Salah's future. If Liverpool sign the German striker they would be signing a player with a lot of quality and in his best moment and that bodes well for us.
