One-time Reds target still harbours hopes
of move to Anfield. Monaco have opened the door for Liverpool
to reignite interest in Thomas Lemar but warn the France international will not come
cheap. The Reds failed in an attempt to sign the
forward on deadline day last summer with Monaco having slapped a 90million price tag on
the player. Jurgen Klopp, though, chose not to pursue
a deal for Lemar in January despite the 142m sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona.
Liverpool are presently not actively interested
in Lemar, who last month issued a thinly-veiled come-and-get-me plea having expressed his
disappointment a move didn't materialise during the last two transfer windows. However, the Reds continue to be linked with
the 22-year-old in France, along with Arsenal who also wanted to sign him last summer
and Bayern Munich. And Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasiley spoke
on Lemar ahead of Sunday's Ligue Un clash with Paris Saint-Germain. A few hours of the match against Paris
is not the time to talk about the transfer window, he said.
But good luck to those who want him. When asked about whether bids of over 110million
would be sufficient to land Lemar, he replied that the winger would "cost a lot". It should come as no surprise for supporters
of the Ligue 1 side, who won the title and cruised to the Champions League semi-finals
last season..
