Liverpool look to push through move for Coutinho replacement

The man in question is none other than Renato Sanches. The 20-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder is not happy with life under Carlo Ancelotti and has been agitating for a move all summer, with a move to the 'reds' an interesting prespect for the Portuguese youngster.

Barcelona's refusal to take no for an answer over Coutinho has forced the English side to consider alternative options, with the club aware that Ernesto Valverde's side could make them an offer that is simply too good to turn down before this week's transfer deadline.

With this in mind, Jurgen Klopp's side are already in negotiations over a move for Potrugal international Sanches who only made the move to Bavaria last summer as one of the most talented young midfielders in world football. Though at this point it is unclear whether the move would be temporary or of a permanent nature.

Futhermore, the fact that Sanches was left our of the squad for Bayern's victory over Werder Bremen on Saturday has only made onlookers more certain of the supposed 'poor relations' between the Portuguese and Bayern's Italian boss, with speculation that the player is more than keen to up sticks and make the move to England.
