Liverpool planning swoop for Jadon Sancho, says Dietmar Hamann

Liverpool are planning a swoop for Jadon Sancho in the summer of 2020, Dietmar Hamann claims he has been told by those in the know.

The English starlet is widely tipped to become one of the best players in the world and is already valued at €100million (£86m) by the football stat gurus at Transfermarkt.

When he does eventually leave Borussia Dortmund, there will be a whole host of teams clamouring for his signature, with Manchester City surely wanting to use his history with the club as a way in.

Former Anfield star Didi Hamann, however, believes Premier League leaders Liverpool are tracking Sancho and will be looking to be at the front of the queue next summer.

“What I hear is that Liverpool has great interest. I would imagine that next summer they could become one of the biggest interested parties,” Hamann told Sky Germany when quizzed about Sancho’s future.

As their draw against Manchester United on Sunday afternoon proved, Liverpool are still very much reliant on Mohamed Salah whose mercurial talents are vital to the club’s chances of ending their three-decade wait to win the Premier League title.

With that in mind, it’s difficult to see where Sancho fits in as things stand as the English international is a natural right-winger. Adding to that, Sancho is on £190,000/week which would be an issue for Liverpool’s wage structure.

Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s highest earner on £200,000/week but he is a proven 27-year-old that has scored nearly 60 Premier League goals in just over two seasons while Sancho is still only a teenager.

Add to that the fact that the former Man City starlet was fined £86,000 and suspended by Dortmund for being late again and you run into a few issues that Jurgen Klopp takes very seriously.

While there is no doubt that Liverpool will be tracking him, signing him is not as straightforward as some fans think it might be.
