Liverpool are positioning themselves strongly in the race to sign Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane before next summer.
The Germany international could be an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah for Liverpool as he is a skilled left-footed player who usually starts on the right-back.
Also, if Salah ends up leaving Liverpool at the end of his contract, Sane would be another free agent, so finding a successor to their star Egyptian striker shouldn’t cost them a fortune.
Liverpool line up MOVE for French wonderkid!
Liverpool’s interest in Sane is being reported by fileswho claim the Reds are currently looking for the top-ranked team to sign the 28-year-old in the summer.
However, it is also suggested that Sane will also be offered a new contract to stay at the Allianz Arena, so There is certainly no guarantee that this deal will be resolved.
Is Leroy Sane good enough to replace a Liverpool legend?
While Sane is undoubtedly a top player, he has only scored four goals and no assists so far this season, which is a far cry from the frankly ridiculous numbers we’re seeing from Salah.
The 32-year-old remains absolutely lethal in front of goal as well as an elite creator for LFC, with an excellent record of 15 goals and 12 assists in 21 games in all competitions so far this mandate.
To be fair, hardly anyone in world football compares to Salah in his prime, so Liverpool should probably put all their efforts into making sure he signs a new contract.
However, things are not looking too good on this frontso it also makes sense to control potential replacements and Sane makes sense as a low-cost option.
The former Manchester City man is also proven in the Premier League, so he could do well to revive his career with a return to English football.
