Jurgen Klopp reportedly wants to submit a bid for Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane.
That’s according to Spanish publication El Nacional, who are reporting that Klopp has no doubt that Sane would be an extraordinary reinforcement for his side, with the report further claiming that he wants the Reds to submit a bid as soon as possible.
It is also claimed in the report that Sane would cost around €55m and that Real Madrid have also named as a possible destination for the former Man City man. But according to the report, Real president Florentino Perez decided to rule out his possible arrival as he does not consider the transfer necessary.

Speaking earlier in the week, Sane admitted that he'd like to play against Liverpool in the Champions League this season. The Germany international knows the Reds well from his time at City, scoring four goals in eight games against Klopp's men.
" Liverpool is always a great game, really hard and exhausting. I’d (also) love to play against Real Madrid again, and I would also enjoy meeting City,” he told The Athletic.
“It would be difficult. But that’s the kind of pressure I’m looking for, it’s the most fun you can have as a player.”
