Stan Collymore has urged Liverpool to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer after Manchester United rєjєƈτed the chance to bring him in.
The 29-year-old spent last season on loan with the Red Devils. Now, he is ɾєρօɾτedly available for a surprisingly cheap fee this summer.
It’s no secret that Jurgen Klopp is looking to add another quality midfielder to his Liverpool squad after signing Alexis Mac Allister in June.
For example, as ɾєρօɾτed by Football365, Nice star Khephren Thuram has been heavily linked with a switch to Anfield.However, after signing DominikSzoboszlai, Liverpool have scaled back their interest.
Now, Collymore thinks his former club should go for Sabitzer instead, who put in some good performances for Man Utd last term.
Erik ten Hag signed the Austria international in January after Christian Eriksen picked up an ankle ιɴjυɾу.
Overall, Sabitzer made 18 appearances across all competitions for Man Utd. In the process, he scored three goals and made one assist.
With Klopp now ɾєρօɾτedly open to selling Thiago this summer,he could look to bring in the Man Utd rєjєƈτ as a replacement for him.
Collymore certainly thinks so. Speaking toCaught Offside,he inisted Sabitzer’s cut-price vlon the cheap is too good an opportunity to miss.
“There have been recent ɾєρօɾτs that Bayern Munich are happy for the Austrian to leave permanently for a fee of just €15m (£12m),” Collymore said.
“If that is true, I cannot believe Manchester United haven’t snapped their hand off already.”
“If they’re not going to take Bayern Munich up on it, I wonder if Klopp will think about it.
“He’s proven he can play in the Premier League and that fee is almost too good to turn down, especially when it’s senior international-level midfielders you’re in the market for.”
Indeed, Sabitzer has picked up plenty of experience at the highest level thɾօυɢҺout his career.
For instance, the midfielder has made 32 Champions League appearances during spells at Bayern and RB Leipzig. Also, he helped Man Utd secure a third-place finish in the Premier League term.
Sabitzer has already chalked up 71 appearances for Austria, too, so there is certainly no doubting his quality.
With that in mind, Sabitzer could be exactly the kind of player Liverpool need to help them break into the top four again.
So, it will be interesting to see if they take Collymore’s advice and make a concrete offer for his services over the next couple of weeks.
