Japanese midfielder Kaishu Sano has been making headlines in the football world with his impressive performances for Japan at the World Cup and Mainz in the Bundesliga. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Liverpool, who are reportedly interested in signing him.
Mainz sporting director Niko Bungert has revealed that the German club would be open to selling Sano, but only for the right price. Bungert emphasized that the player has a long-term contract with the club, giving them no pressure to sell him. He stated that Mainz will only consider selling Sano if a club comes along with an offer that meets their valuation of the player's market value.
Bungert also acknowledged that it's natural for top players to move to the Premier League, and Sano is one of the best defensive midfielders in his position. He expressed that Mainz will not rush any decision and will consider all offers carefully.
The opportunity to join Liverpool would be a huge step up in Sano's career, and he would get to test himself against world-class players in England. The 25-year-old midfielder would likely cost around €60 million, but he would help Liverpool tighten up at the back and allow their creative players to operate with more freedom.
