The Reds are looking for a long-term successor to the prolific talisman. Mohamed Salah, which could leave in summer. Sané, whose name has been mentioned by the club, has been on Liverpool's radar for some time and could replace Salah at Anfield.
first city of manchester The winger has reportedly rejected a move to Barcelona after recently changing agents, but could be on track to return to the first division.
The Catalan publication (via Sport Witness) indicates that Liverpool have 'made moves' to sign the German international. However, the recent appointment of Christian Schmid as his new agent could be an advantage for the Bundesliga champions.
Schmid, who is also the agent of his Bayern team-mate Jamal Musiala, has close links with the Bavarians, who are seeking to renew Sané's contract at the Allianz Arena.
Sané has less than 18 months left on his contract with Bayern and is currently valued at £68m by Transfermarkt. If he fails to draw up new terms in the coming months, Bayern could be forced to sell while Liverpool look to the future.
The Reds could face competition as the report further claims that Chelsea have also moved to lure the 28-year-old to Stamford Bridge. However, the Blues They currently sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table, so Sane would surely prefer a move to Liverpool rather than Chelsea.
Salah's replacement?
The search for Salah's replacement has begun with a number of prolific wingers linked to Liverpool in recent months.
The latest to be linked with a move to Anfield is former Premier League ace Sané, who has been lighting up the Bundesliga since his arrival at Manchester City.
Finding a direct replacement for Salah could prove futile, but it is important to note that Sane also has a unique ability to score goals, dribble, run and orchestrate the game.
Therefore, the German international could be the closest thing to a direct replacement that Liverpool will be able to find.
However, with Jurgen Klopp Upon leaving, doubts remain over whether Sané would feature in the new manager's plans, so he would want to know who the new boss is before committing to a move to Liverpool.
