Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly eyeing Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, according to the UK Mirror. Despite significant interest from the Saudi Pro League in Salah during the summer, all bids for the Egyptian international were turned down by Liverpool.
After rejecting a £150 million offer from Al-Ittihad, Liverpool is expected to face a renewed bid in the new year. Klopp seems to have identified Sane as the ideal replacement for Salah, and the club is willing to break its own transfer record (currently £85 million for Darwin Nunez) to secure the Bayern Munich winger.
Sane, who joined Bayern Munich in 2020 for £54.8 million from Manchester City, is now in his fourth season with the German club. Klopp’s anticipation of Salah’s departure has seemingly set the stage for Sane’s potential move to Anfield.
The speculated interest in Sane suggests that Liverpool is determined to reinforce its attacking lineup with a player of proven quality. The willingness to surpass their transfer record underscores the significance of securing Sane’s services, emphasizing the importance Liverpool places on this potential transfer.
While Salah’s future remains uncertain, Liverpool seems to be proactive in planning for all possibilities. The negotiations with Bayern Munich are expected to be challenging, given Sane’s value to the Bundesliga club, but Liverpool’s determination to bring him in showcases their ambition and commitment to strengthening the squad.
