Earlier this season, it was reported that Liverpool are considering Loic Bade as a possible replacement for Virgil van Dijk, who has been linked with leaving the club in 2025. The 24-year-old Sevilla defender rejected several offers during the summer, and although he recently signed a new long-term contract, he is unlikely to turn down the possibility of a move to Anfield.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will pursue Bade next summer, but in the meantime, they have turned their attention to a second Sevilla player. As revealed by Caught Offsideright back Juanlu Sanchez is being monitored ahead of a possible move in 2025.
Juanlu is very popular in Seville, and during the summer, he played a role in Spain's Olympic success. In the last 12 months, he has also been linked with Real Madrid and Brighton.
Liverpool only considered going for Juanlu if Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been heavily linked with Real Madrid, leaves at the end of his contract, which is in June. Seville will hope that the English defender ends up staying put, because his player has a better chance of doing the same.
