Liverpool are weighing up a summer move for Oihan Sancet, with Arne Slot keen to inject fresh attacking quality into his squad. According to Fichajes, the Athletic Club midfielder has emerged as a serious target for the Reds, as Slot begins shaping his squad for the post-Klopp era.
A Transfer Battle Brewing?
Sancet has been on the radar of several clubs over the last two transfer windows, with Premier League interest intensifying. Aston Villa have kept close tabs on the 24-year-old, while Manchester United are also in the mix, potentially setting up a fierce battle for his signature this summer.
For Liverpool, the move isn’t necessarily linked to replacing Mohamed Salah, but rather adding depth and tactical flexibility to the squad. However, with Sancet’s release clause currently unclear, the Reds will need to weigh up the financial aspects before making their move.
Where Would Sancet Fit in?
Liverpool already boast a strong midfield setup, with Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones often deployed in attacking roles, while Alexis Mac Allister is another option in an advanced position. But Slot’s interest suggests he could tweak the system, possibly using Sancet in a 4-3-3 setup as a dynamic presence on either side of the midfield three.
Will Liverpool Get Their Man?
Liverpool’s pursuit of Sancet signals an intent to build for the future, but they won’t have a free run at the Spanish international. With Aston Villa and Manchester United also circling, the battle for his signature could heat up quickly.
If the price is right, could Sancet be the next big addition to Anfield?
