The January transfer window is not far off for the Premier League and both Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly interested in Schalke midfielder Leroy Sane. The 19-year-old is considered one of the top young prospects in Europe and both the Reds and Man United could make a push to bring him over to England this winter.
Sane has scored five goals in his appearances for Schalke this season and that has him as one of the top targets for teams at the window. Liverpool reportedly made an offer for Sane over the summer, but Schalke did not think the bid was enough and now another round of offers likely will come for January. According to Pro Soccer Talk, the German publication Bild reports that Liverpool is interested in bringing over Sane, as new manager Jurgen Klopp would like to bring him to the Premier League.
The Bild report has Liverpool making an official offer of around £10 million and Sane's name has continued to come up in connection with the Reds. Sane can play both the right and left wing and he has shown playmaking ability in the Bundesliga for Schalke. This season Sane has four goals in 12 games in Bundesliga play and he is likely to get some attention at the window.
Sane is turning 20 in January and he has also been linked with Manchester United, but Express reports that Liverpool is a bit ahead of Man United in the chase right now. Express also reports that Louis van Gaal is targeting his former striker Mario Gomez from when van Gaal was at Bayern Munich and he could be an option at the window.
