Liverpool have no reason to sign Jadon Sancho but Jamie Redknapp has a thought on why they should go for him regardless.
Jamie Redknapp believes Sancho should not be a priority signing for the Reds. However, if it will stop rivals Manchester United from signing him, then it makes sense.
We saw how the Old Trafford outfit tried frantically to secure the services of the Englishman all summer.
Borussia Dortmund had a clear €120m valuation for Sancho and Manchester United failed to meet that fee.
The highly-rated youngster will stay put in Germany for now but it’s a matter of how long.
Next summer, it is expected that a number of sides will battle alongside the Red Devils to Sancho. Liverpool are one of the supposed sides in the running to do so.
Jamie Redknapp says the presence of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah means Liverpool have the very best in attack but it won’t hurt to put a stop to their rival’s transfer plans.
“Look, Jadon Sancho is a superb talent, and obviously, Liverpool would take him,” Redknapp told Paddy Power.
“But right now, if you’re playing him on that right side, he’s not a better player than Mo Salah. He’s also not a better player than Sadio Mane.”
“He makes goals, he brings something completely different to what Liverpool are trying to do, and if you want to keep improving and getting better, then of course you’d want him in your team.”
“You could stop him going to Man United as well, even better.”
“But right now, if Sancho came to Anfield, would he get in the team? I don’t personally think so.”
Sancho is still under contract with Borussia Dortmund until 2023 so it’s no surprise the German giants will demand a huge amount if they do decide to sell him.
