The former Reds defender believes that the Borussia Dortmund attacker would find it difficult to refuse a move to Anfield, as it would be one for the future.
Jadon Sancho has been urged to choose Liverpool over Manchester United if a big money move is made in the next window, and Glen Johnson is of the opinion that the Borussia Dortmund winger “would find it very difficult to reject” a change to Anfield.
The 20-year-old forward has become one of the most sought-after talents in European football and has prompted him to return to the Premier League for the Manchester City academy graduate, with several teams in England ready to bring the young home. .
United appears to be leading the line, with the Red Devils sparking a lot of speculation when it comes to a possible £ 100 million ($ 122 million) foray into the ranks of a Bundesliga heavyweight.
However, Liverpool are also considered to be in the mix and Johnson believes Jurgen Klopp should seek to add Sancho to an attack crop that already includes Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.
The former defender of the reds said Betdaq: “Sancho has been linked with almost all the best clubs in Europe, but from my point of view it will surely be very difficult for him to reject Liverpool if they come to play.”
“I know exactly what it means to put on the shirt and for any young English footballer who plays for Anfield, it is what you dream of. They have one of the best managers in the world at Jurgen Klopp, they are European champions and they are going to win the Premier League, so it would be very difficult not to be tempted if they sought Sancho’s signature.
“If he wants to play in England, no club can offer him the success that Liverpool are currently enjoying and that will surely be a great influence for him to go there.”
“If he went to a club like Manchester United, there would be so much pressure on him to act as soon as he walked through the door and for someone so young that it’s a big responsibility to take on.
“The team is expected to improve overnight and that simply does not happen, whereas in Liverpool it would be under much less pressure to perform.” They wouldn’t have to put him on the team every week and instead they would force him to earn his head. I think that would develop it more than just sticking it in from the beginning.
“We all know that Liverpool have an established front three at the moment with Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but as we know, things change incredibly fast in football and who knows where they will be in two or three years?

“I am not saying that they will move on during that time, but you never know what could happen and if nothing else, adding another top notch player to Liverpool’s attacking ranks could spur them to play better.”
“An improved Firmino, Salah and Mane paired with a more experienced Sancho would be a pretty scary thought for the opposition’s defenses.”
Sancho has hinted that he would be willing to move to Merseyside or Manchester, but for now his focus is on resuming Bundesliga action with Dortmund after the coronavirus blockade.
