Liverpool in for another wonderkid German, reckon Bild

Posted by

Liverpool have been continually linked with Schalke winger Leroy Sane, but according to German publication Bild, we’re also in contention for his club team-mate Max Meyer.

Meyer’s one year older than his recently more heralded colleague, but has been touted for greatness since he broke into the team in 2013.

The 20-year-old is diminutive in frame but has exceptionally quick feet and a brilliant footballing brain, making him one of Europe’s most exciting young playmakers.

The report claims that Sevilla, Barcelona and AC Milan are also keeping tabs on the one-time capped German, who’s contracted until 2018.

Right now though, we need a player like Sane more than we need a Meyer. Sane starts wide and looks to run directly at defenders, providing a real goal threat as well. Meyer is tremendously talented, but wants to play as a no.10 – a position we’ve already a number of players. Liverpool have the creators (even though they’re not creating much at the moment), but lack the runners.

ESPN suggest Manchester City have already made a gargantuan £40m bid for Sane, which seems astronomical considering he’s scored and assisted just four goals apiece so far this term. That makes him way out of our price-range this January.
