Liverpool keeping a keen eye on this Bundesliga Midfielder

Liverpool are prepared to spend €60 million to sign Mainz 05 midfielder Kaishu Sano, the 25‑year‑old Japanese international, after a report by Fichajes highlighted the Reds’ keen eye on the Bundesliga midfielder as Andoni Iraola looks to add depth to his midfield.

Sano’s impressive Form in the Bundesliga last season saw him make 48 appearances, score two goals and provide five assists for Mainz. Those numbers established him as one of the League’s most talented central midfielders.

Primarily a defensive Midfielder, Sano can also operate as a box‑to‑box player, offering tidy passing and a knack for winning tackles. However, doubts remain about his ability to cope with the physical intensity of the Premier League.

If Liverpool complete the €60 million move, the Reds will add quality and depth to Andoni Iraola’s midfield, while Sano will gain a platform to test himself in England and potentially secure a regular first‑team place. Should Iraola move for him, the club would strengthen its squad ahead of the upcoming season.
