Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Schalke attacker Leroy Sane, and new reports this week suggest that Jurgen Klopp os actively tracking one of Germany's brightest talents.
The Liverpool Echo reports:
"Liverpool [want] Schalke winger Leroy Sane. Jurgen Klopp has been sending his scouts to see Sane in action on a regular basis, and he's impressed".
Recent Transfer timeline:
* Jan 2016: Bild claimed that Liverpool were 'moving 'moving closer' to signing Sane, who was reportedly the subject of a €55m bid from Man City.
* Nov 2015: Norway legend Jan Aage Fjortoft - a football analyst for Sky Sports Germany - claimed that 'Liverpool' made a 'big time' effort to sign Sane.
* Sep 2015: Schalke’s director Horst Heldt told Sport Bild: “Liverpool were ready to pay, but the offer didn’t interest us".
Some info about Sane:
* 20 year old Left winger, who can also play on the right, or as a central attacking midfielder. Current contract expires in 2019.
* 16 goals/assists in 47 games for Schalke's senior team (one every 178 mins)
* Mar 2015: Sane's self-assessment: "I need to win more tackles, improve a bit physically and show more strength. These things are more necessary in the Bundesliga than they are in youth games.”
* Nov 2015: Joachim Low's assessment: "He [Sane] has a special gift: speed paired with technique and strong running. Leroy [is] incredibly good [at] running into space".
After spending almost £300m under Brendan Rodgers, I doubt Liverpool are rushing to rejoin the ranks of the shamelessly extorted. That said, at the end of December, Klopp hinted at interest in Sane, when he told Bild:
"Are we interested in Sane and Matip? They are Schalke players, right? It is correct that we are looking at all options".
Is Sane worth such a huge amount of money? It's probably all moot anyway as Sane is reportedly Pep Guardiola's number one transfer target for when he takes over at Man City.
