Liverpool are reportedly willing to ‘splash’ the cash on Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho this summer.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Fichajes as cited by Reds based Twitter account The Anfield Buzz.

This comes as further reports claim the Bundesliga club would accept a reduced £86million for the 21-year-old – having demanded £100million plus last summer when Manchester United were interested.
United, who Jurgen Klopp’s side face at Old Trafford later on today, are still believed to be keen on the Englishman described as the ‘perfect’ footballer by Lothar Matthäus.
Furthermore, reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano added Dortmund director Michael Zorc has confirmed that there is a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ in place which would allow the £90m valued Sancho to leave the club for the right fee.

This season the 18-cap England man has been impressive once again after a slow start, scoring 12 times and registering 18 assists in 34 appearances.

Signing Sancho would strengthen the attacking ranks no end at Anfield.
Although operating primarily in a similar position to Mohamed Salah, Klopp may feel both players are versatile enough to operate across different positions in the frontline.
Ultimately, Liverpool need to bolster their attacking options this summer and Sancho would be a major coup.
