Liverpool are still in the race for Noa Lang, according to reports. The Dutch winger could go for a very good price.

This comes from Gazzetta Dello Sport. They claim that Liverpool are one of a few clubs looking at Club Brugge winger Noa Lang. They report on AC Milan’s interest – and the Rossoneri could be favourites to land him.

Lang supposedly favours a move to Serie A and sees Milan as a good destination. Part of that is his faith in their sporting director, Paolo Maldini. It’s hard to debate the idea that he’d get more game-time at San Siro, too.

But Liverpool will almost certainly look at Lang closely. Gazzetta’s report claims he could leave Brugge for as little as £16m – a potential bargain price for such a talented winger.

Liverpool look at Noa Lang

Liverpool admittedly don’t have too much room for another winger – not unless someone leaves the club this summer. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz all thrive in wide positions, while Takumi Minamino, Harvey Elliott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain offer backup.

But Lang still looks like a good signing. He’s got six goals and 11 assists in the league this season – a fantastic return for a 22-year-old. His Champions League numbers aren’t as good – just the one assist this season – but you need to look a little deeper.

Brugge’s group featured Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig and Manchester City. They were always going to struggle there. Still, Lang managed to look decent.

He created five chances across two games against PSG, including four in the fixture in Paris. Another two came at home to Leipzig. Those are massive clubs who dominate possession – Lang still found ways to create for teammates.

At £16m, Lang could be a fantastic signing for a club that can develop him further. If Liverpool do find space in their squad for him, we think he could be a bargain.
