Liverpool is gearing up for a major transfer move, aiming to secure Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane as the successor to Mohamed Salah. Sane, currently under contract with the Bundesliga champions until 2025, has caught Liverpool’s eye. Reports suggest that Liverpool is prepared to shatter their existing transfer record of £80m (set with the signing of Darwin Nunez) to acquire the talented German international, as per information from the Mirror.
Looking at the broader context, it appears almost certain that Salah will depart for the Saudi Pro League in the upcoming summer. Al-Ittihad made attempts to sign the winger during this season, but Liverpool successfully retained their star player. However, Liverpool acknowledges the likelihood of Salah moving to the Middle East in the next season.
In their pursuit of Salah’s replacement, Liverpool faces the prospect of an improved offer from Al-Ittihad. The club had reportedly put forth a substantial £150m bid this summer, and it’s anticipated that they might return with a more enticing proposal in the upcoming season.
