Barcelona get green light to hijack Chelsea and Liverpool interest in Bundesliga star
BARCELONA will reportedly make a rival offer for Chelsea and Liverpool target Leroy Sane after getting the green light from scouts to move in for the midfielder.
Leroy Sane may be heading to Barcelona this summer
Sane, 20, is said to have caught the eye of a number of clubs after impressing at Schalke this season.
The attacking midfielder boasts six goals for the season and five assists for the campaign.
Chelsea are reportedly considering a £40million swoop for the Germany international, while Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is apparently a fan.
The duo are said to have been impressed by the player during Schalke's 2-1 win over Mainz earlier this month.
The Sun claimed Chelsea were keen on the wonderkid and view him as an ideal signing, especially if the club lose a number of their top players this summer.
Klopp, meanwhile, has already secured a deal to sign Sane's team-mate Joel Matip at the end of the season and there are reports that Liverpool are willing to meet Schalke's fee demands.
