According to Sky Sports Germany, Borussia Dortmund are looking at Ferran Torres as a possible replacement for reported Liverpool target Jadon Sancho.

Sancho has been heavily linked with a big-money move this summer.

The latest reports from the Independent claim Liverpool want the England international winger, and Sancho prefers a move to Anfield over Old Trafford.

The Independent also add that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has personally spoke to Sancho, promising the player a leading role at the Merseyside club.

Dortmund reportedly want £80 million for the former Manchester City man.

And the latest reports from Germany claim they have identified Torres as a replacement.

The Valencia winger, interestingly, has also been linked with Premier League leaders Liverpool this summer.

The highly-rated Spain international has a release clause at £88 million. According to Goal, that hasn’t put the Reds off with contact made for the player last month.

Torres has a contract until 2021. Valencia may be better off cashing in this summer, rather than risk losing him for potentially nothing the following year.

Sancho and Torres are both 20. The duo are wide forwards, offering an abundance of creativity.

Sancho’s contribution of 20 goals and 20 assists this season betters Torres. However, the Spaniard could argue he plays in a stronger league with a weaker side.

Liverpool, however, would surely welcome either player this summer.
