Sky Sports honcho Fabrizio Romano reckons Liverpool could strike a deal for Lille midfielder Renato Sanches this summer.

For Liverpool, the 23-year-old could fill the gap which could be potentially left behind by Wijnaldum, who is looking increasingly likely to depart Anfield as the clock ticks on his expiring contract.



The Portugal international is valued at £18million [Transfermarkt], but it’s unclear how much the Reds would have to spend to get him in the current market.



TMW aren’t typically a reliable source for even Italian football news, but this one could be worth taking note of given Romano has now weighed in on the matter.



Speaking on his Here We Go podcast, the transfer guru suggests Sanches could be a ‘main target’ for Liverpool in a few months, with the Reds already keeping tabs on the player.

In fact, the Italian outlet’s report goes as far as to suggest Liverpool have already agreed a deal with the player.
