Liverpool to match Manchester United for Schalke 04 winger

Liverpool may apparently match their rivals Manchester United for Schalke 04 winger Rabbi Matondo.

The Wales international has been connected with a return to the Premier League, barely a year on after leaving Manchester City.

Rabbi Matondo didn’t make any senior trip for City, but he has made 19 appearances for Schalke in the Bundesliga and has gotten the attention of English clubs.

Man United are supposed to be looking at the 19-year-old as a less expensive option to Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, however the Liverpool Echo shows that Liverpool may likewise be enticed to make a move.

The Reds are supposed to be in the market for another attacking player, however RB Leipzig star Timo Werner remains their need target.

Rabbi Matondo was a half-time substitute in Schalke’s 4-0 thrashing to Dortmund a weekend ago and he could start against Augsburg on Sunday.
