Reds linked with swoop for Raphael Guerreiro

Italian outlet Calcionews24 say dialogue has begun, although the move would be likely to take place over the summer rather than in the current window.

The 22-year-old has played a lot of games in France despite his tender years, appearing in 34 top-flight fixtures in each of the last two seasons.

He has played in 18 Ligue 1 matches so far this term, scoring once to add to his seven league strikers in the last campaign. Napoli, Inter Milan, Roma and Juventus are all also allegedly interested.

Liverpool target Leroy Sane has been warned to stay at Schalke by Germany legend Lothar Matthaus.

Both the Reds and Manchester City are reportedly interested in luring Sane to the Premier League after an impressive season in the Bundesliga.

Matthaus told Sport Bild: "I advise the boy to stay at Schalke. He doesn’t have the maturity to play for an absolute top club.

“If he goes after this season to a team such as Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester City, it would be dangerous for his development.”
