Reports indicate that Liverpool would commit €60 million ($69 million) for Japanese defensive midfielder Kaishu Sano, whose value has increased considerably. Sano, 25, became well-known after scoring against Brazil in the World Cup knockout stages. He joined German club Mainz for around €2.5 million two years ago, and Liverpool currently needs reinforcements in defensive midfield.
