The Reds were reported to be interested in bringing the highly-rated 19-year-old to Merseyside as Brendan Rodgers looked to bolter his attacking options at Anfield.
According to magazine Sport Bild, Liverpool offered €15 million (RM73.79 million) for the fleet-footed teenager who has scored in each of Schalke’s last three games and has a contract until 2019.
However, it is stated that they will continue to fight for his signature, and will make an offer for the German youth worldwide in the January transfer window, before following that up next summer if they still fail to sign him.
Sane featured 13 times in the league last term for the Gelsenkirchen side and Heldt says the club have been knocking back bids from big teams across Europe to keep him. “Liverpool was ready to pay money for him. I am totally unagitated concerning this player”.
Sane, 19, has played in all seven of Schalke’s Bundesliga matches this season and been sublime.

The forward was chased by clubs at as young an age as 17, with Ajax offering €5m for his signature, but failing to land the starlet.
