According to Le10Sport, Renato Sanches is being courted by Barcelona despite the fact he’s been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool.
All summer long we’ve heard reports about Liverpool fancying a move for Renato Sanches, with numerous outlets claiming that the Reds hold a strong interest, with one report even claiming that the Portuguese ace is destined to head to Anfield this summer.
However, Barcelona are now eyeing him up, and that will undoubtedly throw a spanner in the works for the Reds and their transfer plans.
As good as Liverpool are, when Barcelona come calling, you have to consider them as a serious option, and Sanches could be tempted to pick La Blaugrana over a move to Merseyside.
Sanches is undoubtedly a talented player. After all, he’s a former Golden Boy winner, and while the Reds still have a shot at landing him, their route to bringing him to the club just got a lot more complicated.
Liverpool can take solace in the fact that Barcelona are in financial peril at the moment, so they shouldn’t have too many problems when it comes to competing with them on that front, but if Sanches is given the option of both Barcelona and Liverpool, he will have a big decision to make.
