NUMBER ONE SALAH REPLACEMENT
Liverpool see Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane as their number one target to replace Mohamed Salah next summer, according to reports.
The Reds had to deal with constant speculation in the final weeks of the summer transfer window with rumours Salah could be joining Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ittihad.
Liverpool reportedly turned down a bid of around £150m for the Egypt international with claims the Saudi side could go even higher before the end of the window.
But the Merseysiders made their stance clear that Salah was not going anywhere and the 31-year-old has contributed six goals and four assists in 10 matches so far this season.
There are rumours that Al-Ittihad will come back with another bid in the summer transfer window and the Daily Mirror insist that Bayern Munich star Sane is ‘their No.1 target to replace’ Salah.
Liverpool would be ‘ready to smash their club transfer record of £80m for Darwin Nunez in order to land the Germany winger’ and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp ‘would love to lure Sane back to the Premier League’.
It is understood that Sane ‘won’t come cheap’ but Salah is ‘expected to leave to become the Saudi Pro League’s poster boy, almost certainly next summer.
SANCHO OPTION
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho could have the option to join La Liga giants Barcelona in the summer transfer window if they can agree a cut-price deal, according to reports.
The England international made substitute appearances in the Red Devils’ first three Premier League fixtures of the season before being dropped from the squad for their 3-1 loss to Arsenal before the last international break
