Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Athletic Club Bilbao midfielder Oihan Sancet.
According to Fichajes, the 22-year-old midfielder is on Jurgen Klopp’s radar and he will cost €20 million at the end of the season.
Sancet has been in impressive form for the Basque club this season and he has seven league goals to his name. It is hardly a surprise that clubs like Liverpool are keen on securing his services. The midfield has been a major concern for the Reds this season.
The 22-year-old midfielder has the potential to develop into a top-class player and Klopp will hope to secure his services in the coming months.
The reported asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his talents and Liverpool should be able to afford him with ease.
The Reds need to add more creativity and goals to their side. Sancet will address those problems next season and he could be the ideal partner for someone like Thiago Alcantara. The 22-year-old will add craft, flair, and goals to Klopp’s midfield.
The Athletic Club ace has established himself as one of the most exciting midfield talents in Spain this season and Liverpool are likely to face competition for his services.
Sancet needs to join a club where he can continue his development as a player with regular game time. Klopp has helped a number of talented young players develop into world-class stars during his time at Dortmund and Liverpool. The Athletic Club midfielder will feel that he can fulfil his potential under the German’s management.
Liverpool are set to lose players like Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Naby Keita in the summer. They will have to replace their creativity and Sancet seems like an ideal fit. The hardworking 22-year-old would be a good fit for Klopp’s high-pressing system as well.
The Reds have been linked with several midfielders in recent weeks. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Moises Caicedo, and Sofyan Amrabat are thought to be on their radar as well and it remains to be seen who they end up signing eventually.
