Liverpool have entered the chase to sign Chelsea linked midfielder Renato Sanches in the final week of the transfer window.

With a Champions League group stage appearance sealed, Liverpool are expected to be more aggressive in the closing stages of the window to strengthen their squad.




Naby Keita has been Jurgen Klopp’s top target for his midfield this summer, but RB Leipzig have blocked any potential move for him and it seems the Liverpool manager has turned his attention towards another young Bundesliga talent.

According to German magazine Kicker, Liverpool are interested in signing Bayern Munich midfielder Sanches on a loan deal before the end of the transfer window.
 


The Portugal international’s future has been under the scanner all summer because of an underwhelming first season in Bavaria and with a week to go Bayern Munich are keen to loan him out for the season.
