liverpool is keeping an eye on Bayern star.

In essence, Liverpool is keeping an eye on Sane’s circumstances at Bayern due to the ongoing doubts over Salah’s future at Anfield, since the legendary Egyptian forward needs an heir. Even with how intimidating that sounds.

Salah, 31, has a contract that expires at the conclusion of the 2024–2025 season. Al-Ittihad, a Saudi Pro League team, made an avaricious transfer bid for Salah in the summer, and Liverpool turned down their astounding £150 million offer late in the transfer window.

Although it would be incorrect to say that Salah was uninterested in moving, he continued to set a great example by not even pursuing the idea of leaving, letting the story develop naturally.

That’s not to suggest he won’t stay on Merseyside past his current contract, though. The player who has amassed 199 goals and 86 assists in 325 games for the Reds will require a top-tier replacement, and Sane might be that person.

After sustaining a long-term injury towards the end of his Manchester City career, Sane signed a £55 million deal to join Bayern Munich in 2020. In 135 games, the Germany international scored 39 goals and contributed 46 assists, winning two Premier League titles and the FA Cup. Sane has since reinvented himself.

Talent scout Jacek Kulig called Sane a “world-class” player. Dynamic and energetic, he can play on either side but has recently found more success on the right.

In fact, this season, the £332k-per-week wizard has performed admirably, racking up nine goals and seven assists in 20 games across all competitions, including seven goals from 12 matches on the right.

The 27-year-old gem has made 12 starts for the 2023–24 Bundesliga, according to Sofascore. He remarkably averages 3.3 ball recoveries each match, 3.1 shoots, and 3.6 crucial passes per game, while also completing 83% of his passes.
