# Liverpool have second Lemar bid rejected

Liverpool have reportedly had a second bid turned down by AS Monaco for Thomas Lemar.

According to Sky Sports this evening, the reigning Ligue 1 champions have knocked back the Reds’ second advance to land the France international.

Liverpool’s offer is claimed by Sky Sports’ Bryan Swanson to be worth a huge sum of around €70m. This would smash their current transfer record by almost double.

Monaco are adamant that Lemar won’t be sold, as they aim to retain the key players that they have left after offloading several first-team assets this summer.

Liverpool clearly want to add more attacking talent to the ranks, and Lemar appears to be a primary target.
