While Declan Rice has been linked, Saul would be a far cheaper option. Indeed, with just a year left on his deal, Atletico are willing to negotiate from a starting point of £43m (€50m).
It’s also claimed that Saul would prefer a move to Old Trafford ahead of rival interest from Juventus and PSG.
However, according to
Caught Offside, Liverpool have also been alerted by Atletico’s willingness to sell Saul.
They claim the Reds are strongly considering an approach for the classy midfielder and could look to gazump any bid from United.
Saul is a player well known to Reds sporting director Michael Edwards. As such, he could look to work some more transfer magic and bring the midfielder to Anfield.
