Leroy Sane has been sensational for Bayern this season[/caption]

Sane, 27, has been in excellent form for Bayern this season and has benefited in particular from the arrival of Harry Kane.

The winger has eight goals and six assists in 11 Bundesliga games this season.

His contract is up in 2025, meaning Bayern may look to cash in by selling in the upcoming summer window.

Sane’s transfer to Bayern in 2020 took many by surprise, with the winger then being one of the Premier League’s finest young talents.

Bayern paid £54.1 million for the German international with many saying that it was an argument with Pep Guardiola that convinced the club to sell.

Sane had also missed much of the 2019-20 season with a knee injury before making his transfer.

While Sane is being linked with Liverpool and Manchester City, Bild do report that he is in negotiations to renew his contract at Bayern – so this could be a ploy for a bigger payout on that particular deal.

Liverpool are quite stacked in the wing position as it stands.

The Reds have Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz that all play in the position with Cody Gakpo sometimes operating off the left too.

Sane could definitely be an option if Salah were to leave next summer for Saudi Arabia.

The Reds had their resolve tested when the Saudi Pro League offered £150million in the closing stages of the transfer window but remained firm.

But with Liverpool now firmly aware of Saudi’s interest, a move for Sane could be part of their contingency plans should Salah leave.
