Image Credits: Imago ImagesMamadou Sangare’s breakout season at RC Lens has not gone unnoticed at Anfield, with Liverpool increasingly linked to the all‑action midfielder as they look to refresh Arne Slot’s engine room this summer.The Telegraph recently reported that Liverpool’s traditional focus on Ligue 1 means they are “aware” of the Mali international, who has become a driving force for Lens as they pushed Paris Saint‑Germain in the Ligue 1 title race and secured a return to the Champions League.The 23‑year‑old has been at the heart of Lens’ resurgence, anchoring midfield with a mix of ball‑winning aggression and assured distribution that has made him one of the standout performers in France this season.In his first campaign in Ligue 1, Sangare has racked up 32 league appearances, chipping in with three goals and four assists as Lens finished second and booked their place back at Europe’s top table.Liverpool’s interest initially surfaced through The Telegraph, with respected reporter Dominic King noting that the club would “be aware” of Sangare and describing a player of his profile as “essential” for the next phase of their midfield rebuild.Now, the potential cost of any deal has come into sharp focus.

According to a new report from Foot Mercato (via GFFN), Lens have set an asking price of around €50 million for Sangare ahead of the summer window.Signed for roughly €8 million from Rapid Wien last year, the Mali international has seen his value skyrocket off the back of his influence in a side that has both challenged PSG domestically and reached the Coupe de France final, where they face OGC Nice.Lens’ stance is clear: with Sangare under long‑term contract to 2030 and already attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs, they will only consider a sale if their €50 million valuation is met.Whether the Liverpool move from admiration to a concrete bid may now depend on how aggressively they choose to act in a market where rivals are circling and Lens know they hold a prized asset.
