Virals: La Liga giants 'set sights' on Liverpool star Sadio Mane

Real Madrid have reportedly ‘set sights’ on Liverpool forward Sadio Mane ahead of a possible summer swoop.

Following a successful African Cup of Nations with Senegal, the 29-year-old has made a stellar return to domestic action for the Reds.

According to a report from Fichajes, as cited by SBOTOP on Twitter, Real Madrid are keen on the winger.

The report claims that club president at Los Merengues, Florentino Perez, ‘will go for’ the 86-cap Senegal hero this summer.

Mane has earned an impressive 7.09 Sofascore rating from 22 Premier League outings this season.

Described as ‘world class‘ by Jurgen Klopp, so far this term the former Red Bull Salzburg has scored 11 times and provided one assist for the Reds.

Out of contract in 2023 (Transfermarkt), Mane, along with Mohamed Salah, will be hoping for a new deal in the not too distant future.

However, following the capture of positional rival Luis Diaz, there is direct competition for the £72million valued ace.

Unlikely to be short of suitors this summer, Liverpool may have to cash in on the Senegalese star shold no new deal be on the horizon.

In the meantime, Klopp will be delighted with their options between now and the end of the season – at which point a big decision may have to be made over a number of important players.
