Liverpool urged to sign Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich

Meanwhile, Leroy Sane could return to the English Premier League after leaving Manchester City in 2020 as Liverpool have been urged to make a bid for the Germany international.

According to Transfer Tavern, former Everton striker Kevin Campbell has suggested that the Reds should be looking to add the versatile attacker to their squad to bolster the team’s depth.
