The Athletic Club is once again under Ernesto Valverde, and so far this season they attack the midfielder Jungle Sancet that made the difference for Los Leones. A fact that has not gone unnoticed by the best clubs in Europe.
Sancet, 24, has 8 goals in 15 appearances this season and has been in fine form, scoring a brace against Rayo Vallecano and netting the winner against Real Sociedad in the last two weeks. Transfers say that Liverpool they take great interest in that form, and see it as a potential option to strengthen their midfield. Given his age, it would be a move that would give him an immediate return, but also see the Basque coming into his prime.
He has a contract at Athletic until 2032, a sure sign that he has no real intentions of leaving anytime soon, so they may still have to convince him to leave. Included in that contract is a release clause of 80 million euros, and Athletic are notorious for not negotiating on their clauses. If Liverpool want him, then they should commit to him in a big way.
