Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Liverpool are still active in their pursuit of Antoine Semenyo.
The Bournemouth star was thought to be closing in on a move to Manchester City, with his £65million release clause to be triggered.
But Redknapp suggested that the deal is not finalised and Liverpool may yet pounce.
“I’m not so sure,” Redknapp said of Semenyo to City. “I’ve heard there might be a little bit of a twist.
“I think Liverpool could still be in the equation. I think that. I’ve got to be honest, I think if they did come in – why they perhaps haven’t come in as strongly, I’m surprised. If you look at that position, with Mohamed Salah and how long he’s going to be at the club for, we don’t quite know.
“If you’ve got a player of that quality and he shows he’s a match-winner, he turns up in the big moments. Why wouldn’t you be in for him?
“I’m not saying it’s a Sky Sports breaking news moment, but all I’m saying is, I’ve heard tonight that it might not be the forgone conclusion that he’s going to be having a medical at Man City. There might still be a little twist and I hope so.”
