Liverpool have set their sights on Leroy Sane should Mohamed Salah depart the club in the near future.
The Reds have made Sane their primary target to replace Mohamed Salah, and they are ready to sign him for a club-record transfer fee.
Real Madrid are also understood to be interested in signing Leroy Sane, but Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen on luring the German back to the Premier League.
Liverpool splashed a club-record £80 million to sign Darwin Nunez in the summer of 2022, and they are ready to pay more to land Sane.
The 27-year-old has been impressive in attack for Bayern Munich this term, scoring 7 goals and providing no assist in 11 appearances.
Leroy Sane joined Bayern Munich from Manchester City on July 15, 2020, for a fee of €52 million.
Given his output for the Bavarians, Sane wouldn’t leave the Munich-based club for a cheap price.
Liverpool looking to sign Leroy Sane to replace Mohamed Salah
With Liverpool also hoping to cash in on Mohamed Salah, they would be willing to part with a significant amount in signing the Germany international.
Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad were said to be interested in signing Salah, and they tabled a bid of £150 million to secure his services.
However, the Reds didn’t accede to the bid due to the timeframe and the effect it could have on the team.
The Reds definitely know that it would be a tall order to keep the Egyptian after this season and as such, they have tabled a replacement in the mode of Leroy Sane.
Sane has scored 45 goals and provided 37 assists in 144 appearances for Bayern Munich across all competitions.
He comes in as a like-for-like replacement for Mohamed Salah, who has had several outstanding years at Liverpool.

Salah has assisted the club in winning many trophies, including helping the Reds win their first English top-flight league title in about 3 decades.
The Egypt international has scored 192 goals and provided 83 assists in 315 appearances for Liverpool across all competitions.
Mohamed Salah joined the Anfield giants from AS Roma on July 1, 2017, for a fee of €42 million.
Leroy Sane’s last outing in England with Manchester City wasn’t particularly impressive but supporters of Liverpool would be hoping that he produces the goods if he joins the club.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have had an impressive start to the season, as they have amassed 17 points from 8 league matches.
They had a horrendous 2022/23 season, but their league performances this term after 8 matches have been commendable.
Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in the first installment of the Merseyside derby for the 2023/24 season.
The Reds defeated Sean Dyche’s side in their last meeting on February 13, 2023, with a 2-0 victory at Anfield, the same venue for the clash next Saturday.
