Liverpool could sign Juanlu Sanchez on buy-to-loan
Liverpool would be wise to make an early move for Sevilla star Juanlu Sanchez before letting him temporarily return to his boyhood club.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former England international goalkeeper Paul Robinson suggested Liverpool’s summer deal for Giorgi Mamardashvili, 24, could be the blueprint for a deal to bring Sanchez, 21, to the club.
The young right-back has been linked with a move to the Premier League giants with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract due to expire at the end of the season.

Sanchez has been a rare bright spark in what has been an underwhelming start to the season for La Liga side Sevilla.
An attacking right-back much like Alexander-Arnold, Sanchez has scored once in just 310 minutes in the league so far for his boyhood club.
“I think someone like Sanchez, that’s a long-term replacement”, Robinson told Football Insider.
“You look at the goalkeeper, Mamardashvili, that type of player that they’re signing, somebody like Sanchez at his age would be possibly a signing and then loan back out again, 21 years old.
“He was out on loan for 2022-23 so he’s not a player you would look at and think ‘Is he a direct replacement for Trent?'”
“If they lose Trent in January he doesn’t start playing for Liverpool in the Premier League in January.
“He’s definitely one for the future and for a long-term signing. Very, very good player.”
