Earlier in the season, Sport1 reported Liverpool are in the picture to sign Leroy Sané and that they are impressed with his performances for Bayern Munich.
Last November, Sky Deutschland stated the Bundesliga winners are a ‘little worried’ due to the Reds’ interest in the winger.
Fast forward to February and Sport now mention Liverpool in a report that focuses on Barcelona’s interest in the 28-year-old.
The Germany international has less than 18 months left on his deal and the Bavarian club are keen to extend it.
Sport state Barca have identified him as one of the main objectives to bolster their attack next season. In addition to this, Liverpool have ‘made moves in recent months’, to try and secure his services in the summer.
Fali Ramadani, who manages Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso, had initiated contact with the La Liga side over a potential deal for Sané. The Blaugrana wanted to know their finances first before taking further steps.
Meanwhile, Sané has changed agents and is now represented by Christian Schmid, who has a good relationship with the German champions. Sport suggests this could be decisive to help Bayern tie down the player to a new deal.
The newspaper states Sané has decided not to make a switch to the Camp Nou and that he could possibly renew his contract at Bayern, where he’s enjoying life under Thomas Tuchel.
Although several factors could point towards a renewal, Sport don’t specifically state he’s not keen on returning to England.
If Liverpool still want to sign him in the summer, they have to find a way to first convince Sané [and his agent] to not sign a new contract at Bayern.
