Liverpool are reportedly positioning themselves strongly in the race for the transfer of Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane ahead of next summer.
The Germany international could be an ideal Mohamed Salah replacement for Liverpool as he is a skilful left-footed player who tends to start from the right flank.

While Sane is undoubtedly a top player, he only has four goals and no assists so far this season, which is a long way from the frankly ridiculous numbers we’re seeing from Salah.
The 32-year-old remains absolutely lethal in front of goal, as well as an elite creator for LFC, with a superb record of 15 goals and 12 assists in 21 games in all competitions so far this term.
In fairness, there’s barely anyone in world football who compares to Salah when he’s at his best, so Liverpool should probably just put all their efforts into ensuring he signs a new contract.
