Lille reveal the asking price for Liverpool target Renato Sanches
Correio da Manha via Paisley Gates (h/t Liverpool Echo) reported the latest about Liverpool and their interest in Lille midfielder Renato Sanches.
According to the report, the Ligue 1 champions are prepared to sell Sanches and have set the asking price for the midfielder. £29.6m is the figure that could be enough to land the Portuguese. Liverpool are a potential destination for Sanches, However, the club will face heavy competition from Arsenal and Barcelona.
Sanches, who was a key member of the team that won the title last term, has started the 2021/22 season. He played full 90 minutes in their 3-3 draw against Metz this past weekend.
Should Liverpool sign Sanches?
The 23-year-old has had many ups and downs in his career. Sanches broke through the ranks of Benfica. He made 35 first-team appearances for the Portuguese club before securing his big first move, as Bayern Munich signed him in 2016.
His career went on a freefall since then. He had a loan spell at Swansea – a move that did not work either. Ultimately, Bayern lost their patience. He was sold to Lille in 2019.
The midfielder has regained his stock since. He was a regular in midfield for the 20/21 Ligue 1 winning outfit and played an important part in former manager Christophe Galtier’s setup.
