Liverpool could be in line to move for a former Premier League champion who has currently been ‘relegated’ to Bayern Munich’s B-team.
Former Manchester City star Leroy Sane has endured a mixed time at Bayern so far and the latest reports have seen him fall down the pecking order in Germany.
Having signed for the German champions back in 2020 for £54.7M, he’s failed to consistently impress, despite producing good numbers.
Now he could emerge as a target for Liverpool after the latest news suggests he won’t be getting as much game time as he wants this season.

Latest reports on Leroy Sane
According to the latest reports, Leroy Sane may be way down low on the Bayern Munich pecking order.
Julian Nagelsmann usually has his squad play against each other in an A-team vs a B-team scenario, and Sane was seen playing with the B-team this week.
Currently, the German is battling against Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman for a role in Bayern’s attack. It will be interesting to see how long he puts up with not being a first-choice attacker.
It’s also claimed that manager Julian Naglesmann will make fewer changes to his starting XI this year, in the hope of becoming a real force in Europe once again. This will result in fewer minutes for the pacy German.
"He's an unbelievable player" 🪄@leroy_sane has nothing but love for @21LVA ❤️

Writing for CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano said he is “aware that there is growing talk” of Sane being targeted by Premier League giants Liverpool and Man United.
Kevin Campbell gave his opinion on the potential signing when speaking exclusively to Football Insider. The former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell said the 26-year-old would be a “smart” signing for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
“We all know that is all about the squad these days. There is going to be injuries, loss of form and back-to-back league and Champions League games. You need to be able to flip your squad so everybody is fresh.
“If it was Diaz one game and Sane the next… I’m sure Liverpool fans would be happy with that. Many teams would love that strength in depth, let’s be honest.
