Liverpool has taken action in an attempt to trump Barcelona in the transfer of a Bundesliga player.

Liverpool and Barcelona are supposedly the two teams who could want to get Bayern Munich striker Leroy Sane, and they have taken some action on the potential transfer.

With 18 months remaining on his current deal at the Allianz Arena, Sane has been in outstanding form for Bayern this season, so it seems likely that they will want to hang onto the Germany international.

This summer could be tense for Bayern if a new contract isn’t reached quickly since they could have to consider the possibility of selling Sane now for less than market value rather than waiting another year and losing him on a free agent.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that the former Manchester City player is being associated with Liverpool and Barcelona, according to the Catalan newspaper Sport, which Sport Witness translated and cited.

Sane would be perfect to provide LFC additional attacking alternatives, especially as he would suit in well on the right-hand side to take the position of Mohamed Salah, who has been connected to Saudi Arabian teams by the Daily Mail and other publications.

Raphinha hasn’t done well in that capacity for Barcelona, so they may wish to make some changes as Sane is probably seen as an improvement over the Brazilian.

The source claims that Liverpool has made some attempts towards signing 28-year-old Sane, however it’s unclear who is now winning the battle.

“I have to admit,” Chris Sutton says, referring to the Liverpool player who has disproved him thus far this season.

Chris Sutton, who had previously questioned if the 32-year-old was past his prime, has now acknowledged that he has been proven utterly wrong by a Liverpool player this season.

This season, Jurgen Klopp’s team is still having difficulty on all four fronts, and Virgil Van Dijk has been a major factor in the Reds’ strong play.

After Jordan Henderson left for Saudi Arabia in the summer, the Dutchman was given the armband, and the centre defender has since excelled.

Liverpool has given up the fewest goals in the Premier League so far this year (18), and Sutton acknowledges that his misgivings about the Netherlands international were unfounded.

The former Celtic striker commented on BBC Football Daily, “I have to admit, I wondered whether he could get back to his imperious best as a defender after the injury” (via Rousing The Kop). I used to believe he was the world’s best defender. I simply assumed that he might have lost a garden or something. Perhaps he didn’t feel like the same player and his confidence had taken a slight knock.

However, as the season has progressed, I believe he has gotten better and better. Naturally, he always kind of takesHowever, as the season has progressed, I believe he has gotten better and better. Naturally, he always seems to carry the burden alone, but Liverpool will be happy.

Naturally, van Dijk’s severe knee injury from a few years ago required some time to heal, but he is now showing why so many people consider him to be the best defender in the world.

It’s no accident that Klopp’s team is playing at its peak right now—our No. 4 is also playing at his best—because of his intimidating presence in the backline, which intimidates forwards.

This term, he’s setting an excellent example and would be thrilled to win some hardware in his capacity as Liverpool captain.
