Liverpool are in talks to sign German wonderkid Leroy Sane after he told Schalke he wants to leave, according to reports.

The 20-year-old has been strongly linked with the Reds along with Manchester City and Barcelona in the last few weeks.

Schalke had stayed firm on selling the player, insisting he will stay, but reports in Germany say the position has now changed.

Sport Witness quote the print version of Bild in saying that Liverpool are in talks to sign Sane after he made it clear he wants to quit Schalke.

It’s also claimed that despite suggestions his value could be £41.1m – he actually has a release clause set at £27.7m.

A speedy winger with excellent dribbling ability, Sane is destined to be a star of the future for club and country.
