Liverpool ‘leading Renato Sanches transfer chase’ after Bayern Munich and Swansea flop rekindles career at Lille
LIVERPOOL are in pole position to land Renato Sanches from Lille, according to reports.
The French club are thought to be open to selling a number of stars, including Sven Botman, who has been linked to the Reds and Tottenham.
Wolves are also keen on bringing him back to the Premier League, following his failed stint at Swansea City.
The midfielder played 14 games in the Swans relegation campaign and grabbed headlines when he passed the ball to an advertising hoarding.
That spell is firmly in the past however, as the midfielder has helped Lille to the top of the Ligue 1 table.
Jurgen Klopp could be eyeing the 23-year-old as a potential replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman is set to reject new terms and is the subject of interest from PSG and Barcelona.
Joining Liverpool would be some step up for Sanches, particularly after his disastrous spell at Bayern Munich.
He made just 16 starts for the German champions and was sold on at a loss when Lille signed him for £22.6million in 2019.
The Reds are in need of a rebuild after a terrible spell recently, and the Euro 2016 winner could fit their long-term strategy.
