Liverpool set to beat Manchester United to transfer of £90million-rated star
Liverpool are allegedly edging ever closer to completing the move of Thomas Lemar and speculated Manchester United transfer target Thomas Lemar, as per sources in France.
Exciting young talent
The Merseysider’s have been linked strongly with the French ace for some time now, with the attacker establishing himself as one of the top youngsters in Europe in the last year or so.
The 22-year-old played a key role in Monaco’s French Ligue 1 title victory last term, which then saw him heavily linked with a number of elite sides the following summer window, though he did not follow the likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko, Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy in leaving the reigning Ligue 1 champions.
Liverpool making progress
However, Le 10 Sport is suggesting the Reds are making major progress on a move and are edging closer to an agreement to land him.
This is despite a report by Liverpool Echo claiming Liverpool were prepared to search elsewhere as a result of being put off by Thomas Lemar’s £90million valuation, so they’re either now ready to pay that or are sure of getting the transfer fee down a little bit.
Recently, reports linked the French talent as being among Man Utd’s transfer targets up front, and this could be a major blow for the side to see the exciting forward move to a rival club instead.
