Liverpool target Thomas Lemar to cost £92million as Monaco slap on huge price-tag following £55m Reds bid

Reds targeting French playmaker after Fenway Sports Group gave green light to Philippe Coutinho's Barcelona move

LIVERPOOL will reportedly be told to pay £92million for Monaco star Thomas Lemar after making a £55m bid earlier today.

GFFN claims Ligue 1 champs Monaco could sell the playmaker before Thursday’s deadline.

But Liverpool will have to pay through the nose as additional reports claim they will offload Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for nearly £150m.

SunSport reported earlier that Jurgen Klopp had made an enquiry for Lemar ahead of a £55m bid.

It’s now been claimed that Liverpool went ahead and submitted the offer after Fenway Sports Group green-lighted Coutinho’s controversial move to the Nou Camp.

Monaco are yet to respond to the bid but it's believed the £55m falls way short of their valuation.

It's said the French giants actually want a deal worth £92m in total, indicating that Liverpool can include a number of bonuses in their next offer instead of a straight-up single payment.

However, the report adds that Lemar is also yet to make a decision after only just finding out about Klopp’s interest.

He may not even be guaranteed a regular place in the starting XI, such is the strength of Liverpool’s squad in attack.

But Lemar may not be the only new arrival at Anfield this week, with Renato Sanches also set to make the move to Merseyside.

The Portugal international was left out of Bayern Munich’s squad at the weekend and could now be set to link up with Klopp in the Premier League.
