Liverpool make ex-Swansea flop Renato Sanches ‘shock transfer target as potential replacement for Georgino Wijnaldum’


LIVERPOOL are reportedly eyeing a shock move for former Swansea flop Renato Sanches.

The Premier League champions are the latest club to be linked with the 23-year-old Portuguese midfielder.

Wolves are also keen on the ex-Bayern Munich man, and they are believed to be plotting a move in next month’s transfer window.

Now French outlet Le10Sport claims Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp has identified the midfielder as the ideal replacement should Georgino Wijnaldum leave for Barcelona.

Sanches was one of the biggest talents in Europe after bursting onto the scene with Benfica and helped his country to win Euro 2016.

That earned him a big-money move to Bayern, but he struggled in Germany, and 12 months later he made the surprise switch to Swansea.

Despite arriving at the Liberty Stadium to a huge fanfare and much excitement, Sanches failed to adapt to English football.

And his most famous moment for the South Wales club came in a defeat to Chelsea when he passed the ball straight into an advertising hoarding.

He made just 12 appearances for Swansea before a hamstring injury in January 2018 ended his time there.

Even though he had made little impact at Bayern, Lille still splashed out £25million for him last year.

And he has enjoyed a return to form in Ligue 1 and now appears to be catching the eyes of the continent’s big boys again.

Lille president Gerard Lopez even claimed back in January that the club had turned down a huge £64m offer for the player.

He has made ten appearances for the French outfit this term and scored one goal.
