Liverpool 'handed boost in Renato Sanches pursuit'

Lille midfielder Renato Sanches has reportedly been placed on the transfer market this summer.

The 23-year-old found it difficult to make his mark at Bayern Munich and Swansea City but has rediscovered his form at Lille, while he also impressed for Portugal during Euro 2020.

A number of clubs, including Liverpool, have been credited with an interest in the midfielder, who has scored five times and registered five assists in 59 appearances for the French champions.

According to Le10Sport, Lille have placed Sanches on the transfer market, and the French outfit are thought to be looking for a fee in the region of €35m (£30m) for his services.

Barcelona and Arsenal have also been credited with an interest, although the former would only be able to afford a loan move for the Portuguese in the current market.

Liverpool continue to be linked with a number of central midfielders, as the Reds look to sign a replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum following his move to Paris Saint-Germain.
