Liverpool may be inclined to wait a year for Ibrahim Sangare after learning of the Ivorian’s asking price in the upcoming summer window, amid new links emerging with the former Toulouse man.
The midfielder, who the Reds were said to be at least vaguely interested in during the window that just ended, will be available for just €37m. [£32.3m] in the summer market, notably just £400,000 more than his release clause before agreeing to a long-term contract extension.
Empire of the Kop is reliably reported by Eindhovens Dagblad journalist and PSV member Rik Elfrink, who warns that an interested party will need to pay a larger sum for the 24-year-old’s services in January.

As a matter of principle, we know that Liverpool don’t tend to prefer to make moves in the middle of the campaign unless there’s some really stellar talent available or to prevent an opponent from taking one of our main targets (Luis Diaz, anyone? ?) .
