Liverpool have reportedly identified Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane as their first-choice target to replace Mohamed Salah if he moves to Saudi Arabia.
As reported by The Mirror, Liverpool are prepared to break their club transfer record for Sane.
If it was to go ahead then a deal for Sane would surpass the fee paid for Darwin Nunez, who cost £64.2million plus £21.4million in add-ons when he joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2022.
Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer of Germany international Sane and wants to lure him back to the Premier League.
During his time at Manchester City Sane won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and three League Cups.

Salah has started the season impressively with five goals and four assists in eight Premier League games.
However, it is anticipated that the 31-year-old could leave Liverpool in January to go to Saudi Arabia.
Salah was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer transfer window, with Al-Ittihad having an offer of £150million turned down.
There are less than two years remaining on Salah’s contract at Anfield and he could end up leaving.
During his Liverpool career Salah has made 315 appearances in total and has scored 192 goals.
Bayern would be reluctant to lose Sane, who has scored six goals in seven Bundesliga appearances this season.
