As Liverpool look to put their Champions League exit behind them and turn their attention towards the summer, they’ve reportedly been offered the chance to sign a former Premier League star.
Liverpool offered chance to land summer bargain
The Reds took Paris Saint-Germain all the way to penalties, limping over the line in extra-time before ultimately falling short in the shootout courtesy of misses from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones. But they do not have time to stop and think about their European heartbreak. Instead, Liverpool must instantly put that behind them and turn their focus towards Wembley.
It’s there that they will meet a Newcastle United side looking to cause an upset in the Carabao Cup final. Arne Slot’s side have had an inevitability to them at times this season, but Eddie Howe’s outfit left a dent in their armour earlier this season when his side rescued a late point at St James’ Park. Now, he will be looking to compile their misery fresh from Champions League disappointment.
Off the pitch, meanwhile, those at Anfield haven’t had time to think about Tuesday night all too much. Their focus, at this stage, is seemingly set on the summer transfer window, which could yet see a star man return to English football.

He was the star of the show over two legs…

According to The Boot Room, Liverpool have now been offered the chance to sign Leroy Sane on a free deal at the end of his current Bayern Munich deal this summer, with agents working on his behalf reaching out to various clubs to gauge their interest.
A former Manchester City star, the German hasn’t always hit the same heights at Bayern but his quality is still certainly there for all to see. As Mohamed Salah nears the end of his own contract and doubts also surround the future of Luis Diaz, Sane could yet emerge as an ideal option for those at Anfield.

Sane set for Anfield redemption?
Whilst he is a different type of winger compared to Salah and Diaz, Sane is a star in his own right when he is fit and firing on all cylinders. He’s a player that Liverpool already know all too well, of course, from how he often left his mark on Jurgen Klopp’s side whilst at Manchester City.
It was the German who found the winning goal in the 2018/19 campaign to give Pep Guardiola’s side a key advantage in a Premier League title race they went on to win. Now, years on from what many consider to be the highest-quality game in the league’s history, Liverpool could finally reap the benefits of Sane’s talents.
Earning plenty of praise over the years, former manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters when asked about Sane: “Physically he’s a machine. He can implement our instructions like almost nobody else.
“As well as his talent, his physical condition is top-class. It suits him when he starts quite wide. Currently he’s very strong on the left wing. His performances can’t be praised highly enough at the moment.”
