Liverpool could yet have a free run at a reported defensive midfield target this summer following one reporter’s update.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg posted on X to refute suggestions that Bayern Munich are also keen on PSV’s Ibrahim Sangare.
Been told again: #Sangaré is NO transfer target for FC Bayern this window! No negotiations. @SkySportDE 🇨🇮 https://t.co/OI5Tj7EJqA

The 25-year-old has been repeatedly linked with a switch to Anfield, though it remains to be seen whether he tops the list of the club’s remaining available options on the shortlist.

With a release clause of £32.3m, it could make a great deal of sense to trigger our third release clause of the summer and fast-track the player’s arrival at a time when a number six is desperately needed.
The key for Liverpool will be consistency at this stage following failed moves for both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
We can’t blame the club for aiming high at risk of looking silly in the market, as we do now following the latter’s decision to join the Ecuadorian at Stamford Bridge.
Though we’d hope our next option in the market will be pursued with a level of singular focus that doesn’t halt at the sight of an asking price several million pounds above what we’d have initially been prepared to fork out.
The time for compromise is surely running out.
With 164mill we can get Sangare, Gravenberch and Andre for midfield and Schuurs and Ignacio in backs.
problem being that isn’t well known or documented is we have spots only for 2 more foreign players – 17 non English quota.
This si why Lavia was key as due to his age he didn’t count as foreign so your list of 5 has to be 2 – which 2 do you want? We have to look at English if more than 2
If anything of the recent transactions are to go by; we’ll offer tuppence halfpenny then a fiver followed by 100 mil once another club becomes interested
Liverpool needs a player with premier League experience the best option is Joao Palphina, they can add on Sangare and Ignacio 60+35+35
FSG LFC is not Boston red socks you run Lfc like corner shop sell up and go i dont care if you sell to state owner just go. This problem start from when rick parry and david moore sell to hicks and Gillett and not dubai. No more yanks pls go fsg.
I’d email them directly, as I doubt they’re reading the comments.
I really appreciate this kind of comment from you my fellow lfc supporters, we are tired of this a d I hope we start carrying card written FSG out at the Anfield stadium
I do care if they sold the club to a state owned set up. It’s not how our club should be run. FSG have been good owners.
If Liverpool is foolish again they should open their mouth and let other club hijack it from them again
Don’t mind this foolish owner and Coach they are just doing nonsense, they are not serious,all the small club spend money but a whole Liverpool can not spend money, that is y this season they can’t win any thing
Sell club to spending Liverpool need help from board
We need to get this mess sorted asap we have known for a while now our midfield needed adjustment but as true liverpool style we leave it until last minute then get stung and made to look stupid
Sort it now get gravenberch on board to steady the ship
