Liverpool are in the hunt to sign Benfica sensation Renato Sanches, according to reports.

The 18-year-old has established himself as a regular in the Benfica starting XI this season and a host of teams are chasing him.

Manchester United are known to be keen, but SB Nation say Liverpool have been scouting him and are interested in the player.

Sanches has a buy-out clause set at £62.3million so won’t be easy to sign, but this guy is set to dominate European football in the future.

Recent reports suggested Benfica are close to agreeing a deal with a major club to sell the midfielder in the coming months.
