Do Liverpool hold any interest in Renato Sanches of Benfica, he looks good from what I've seen, but I heard Benfica want about £45 million.
{Ed002's Note - No. Benfica's Renato Sanches has attracted scouts from a number of clubs to watch him this season, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, both Manchester sides, PSG and Arsenal, but a new contract and the protection of an outrageous release clause (which would be the minimum Benfica would expect from an English side) was enough to stop any transfer in January. PSG have turned their attentions elsewhere for now but could return. Manchester United put a very low offer on the table in January and then withdrew it - but the expectation is that they will return with a better offer once they have resolved two issues - and they do continue to scout the player. Whilst Real Madrid are actively looking for discussions about the player they might want to try and include one of two players in the deal but that may well be resisted by Benfica - if that were the case then expect them to do what they need to do financially or look elsewhere. Don't discount a move from Bayern Munich or Arsenal. Benfica has identified a young replacement that they would like to bring in to their side if they cannot hold on to Sanches.}

Let's be honest he's out of our league and price range.

Sorry but I've seen him live 4 times this season, against porto, braga, rio ave and once in champions league. He was absolutely crap. Lazy, out of position, couldn't tackle (fouls galore) and his distribution was awful. Hope manutd do get him he is a vastly overated, egotistical Anderson. definitely not a team player.
