It’s happening again!
Liverpool are, according to a report from French outlet L’Equipe. eyeing up a summer move for Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.
The 24-year-old has been one of very few bright sparks for Saints during a difficult season under Mauricio Pellegrino and it seems like his performances have not gone unnoticed.
Lemina, who started his career in France, signed a contract until 2022 when he moved to St Mary’s, but as Liverpool are fully aware, the South Coast side are willing to sell contracted players if the price is right.
Since June 2014, the Reds have signed six players from Saints; Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, and Lemina could become the seventh name added to that list.
Southampton, as we all know, are currently in a relegation dog fight and if they go down, Lemina will almost certainly be leaving.
If they somehow manage to stay up, it’ll be interesting to see if the board are willing to deal with Liverpool after the summer saga that surrounded Van Dijk.
