Liverpool are reportedly one of three clubs set to battle for RB Leipzig star Marcel Sabitzer this summer.
That’s according to BILD, who claim Premier League rivals Manchester United and Spurs are also interested in the Austria international.
RB Leipzig are said to be near-resigned to losing their captain at the end of his current contract in June 2022, but aren’t willing to let him leave for nothing.
The Bundesliga outfit want €42 million for the 27-year-old, with Spurs credited with long-term interest, as per the above BILD report.
