Transfer News: Liverpool have cooled their interest in Lille star Renato Sanches
According to LiverpoolEcho, Liverpool have taken their eyes away from Lille star Renato Sanches.
Renato Sanches has shown decent output in this campaign for club and country. Having bagged two goals and five assists in 31 appearances, the Portuguese star remains a top performer for his team. However, his contributions haven’t been enough to push the Ligue 1 team to a respectable spot on the table.
Liverpool were interested in the Portuguese star, but now it is believed that the Reds have shifted their target to other crucial midfield talents.
Although Sanches’ stay at the French club has been favourable for his growth, he is probably eyeing a different challenge as the 24-year-old is closing on a deal with Serie A giants AC Milan for around £20m.
Good decision from Liverpool?
Sanches is a talented midfielder who has shown impressive performances in the past few seasons. However, the Portuguese star’s recurring injury issues have been a significant threat to his career.
Despite getting the chance to feature for FC Bayern, his injuries limited his output, eventually pushing him towards loan moves. The 24-year-old has suffered fitness issues in the last three consecutive seasons and has missed several matches in the initial half of this term due to a Meniscal Injury.
Some of our top midfielders like James Milner, Naby Keita, and Jordan Henderson have suffered injuries in the initial half of the season, reflecting the league’s demanding nature.

Considering Sanches’ recurring injury issues, he probably wouldn’t be the best fit for our team. We require a more robust midfielder, preferably a youngster who can provide us with the required levels of performance.
Liverpool are believed to be searching for midfield reinforcements; it remains to be seen who that might be.
