da bet7k: Former England manager Steve McClaren has advised Liverpool to move for Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez if Philippe Coutinho leaves.
da betsul: According to The Times, Liverpool’s Brazilian midfielder thinks that he has played his final game for the Merseyside outfit amid interest from Barcelona.
However, the publication states that the Merseyside outfit will not be tempted to sell this month unless an offer of around £133m is tabled.
The Spanish giants were rebuffed in their efforts to secure Coutinho’s signature in the summer, but it appears that they have renewed their interest.
If Barcelona get their way, there will be a position to fill in Jurgen Klopp’s team, and McClaren thinks that Sanchez is the right fit.
The Chile international will come to the end of his contract at Arsenal next summer, which means that he could potentially leave for a cut-price figure this month.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have been prominent in the transfer gossip pages when Sanchez is mentioned, but McClaren has tipped the attacker to move to Merseyside.
The Liverpool Echo quotes the ex-England boss as saying:
“It’s difficult. I would look at Sanchez from Arsenal as there may be a bit of movement there. £160million is a lot of money. You can buy a lot for that [but] Liverpool won’t want to lose Coutinho’s quality. I could [see Sanchez at Anfield]. Sanchez will be ambitious and he’s that type of player that could replace Coutinho.”
