Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev has been discussing the future of Thomas Lemar ahead of the summer transfer window, with Liverpool still keen on signing the France international.
The Reds were keen to sign Lemar last summer but saw their efforts rebuffed by Monaco. However, it seems they have been given extra encouragement in their pursuit of the Frenchman now.
Vasilyev spoke to the French media, as cited by Metro, about Lemar and his tenure at Monaco and fielded questions about whether or not he’d sell to Liverpool this summer.
Revealingly, the vice-president admitted that he’d prefer to sell Lemar to Liverpool rather than to Arsenal in the summer transfer window, with the Gunners reportedly the Reds’ closest competitors in the race for the Monaco man’s signature.
Lemar has enjoyed another good season in Monaco colours after helping Leonardo Jardim’s men to the Ligue 1 title last term.
He’s set to be hot property in the summer, and Liverpool may fancy their chances of landing him despite Vasilyev issuing yet another hands-off warning to potential suitors.
