Manchester City have joined Liverpool in the race to sign Schalke's Leroy Sane, according to reports.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were thought to be the leading contenders for the highly-rated 19-year-old.

But the Guardian claim City have made the teenager a major transfer target.

Schalke are understood to want £32million (€40m) for Sane, who has been supposedly watched by City since December 2013.
