Report: Real Madrid make Sadio Mane their top transfer target

Real Madrid are determined to land star Liverpool forward Sadio Mane in the summer transfer window according to reports.

The Spanish giants and in particular their manager Zinedine Zidane have made no secret in their admiration for the superstar from Senegal.

The Sunday Mirror says that despite the 27 year-old having three years to run on his current deal, Real are quietly confident that they can land their man by offering a change of scenery and a exciting challenge.

It is thought any deal for Mane would be in the vicinity of £130-140 million.

The joint winner of the Golden boot from the 2018-9 season (22 goals) has again been a key factor in the success of the Reds this league campaign with 14 goals along with 7 assists.

His two goals were also a key factor in the Reds claiming the Super Cup against Chelsea in August.

His reputation to produce in big moments led former Man United and England central defender Rio Ferdinand to say recently:

"Mane’s been phenomenal. He’s the guy that normally scores first.

 

“Out of the three strikers Liverpool have, he’s the one I would least like to play against.

“He’s unpredictable, he’s sharp, he’s quick, he’s direct, clinical.

"Listen, they’re all great players but there’s just something different about him for me that I really, really love.”

While Madrid are naturally keen to add a player such as Mane to their ranks, there has been no indication whatsoever that Liverpool would want to part ways with one of their star man.

For his part, Mane seems very content in playing for a team who are in the midst of a very special era.

Not sure how much sadio and mo get on to be fair. I mean Bobby is liked by both of them, but there isn't any great warmth from what I can see between them. 

 

However, it wouldn't be the first time that two lads in a very successful team weren't best mates and ultimately once they are doing the business on the pitch that is all that matters. Furthermore, I don't see either of them really wanting to leave us. They seem very at home and why wouldn't they.

 

 

This is just shit, This is 1 and 1 making 5. This is Eamonn Fatarse Holmes and his gormless wife making shit up on the couch. Just stop it.

Why?

Every player has his price, even the greats, and to be honest £180m is probably getting pretty close.

 

Put it this way - if we got enough from selling Mane to fund Werner and Sancho, are you taking that deal? Depending on the relative wages involved, I might!

 

Mane is brilliant, but our forward line are all the same age and we definitely don't want to be going into the next few years needing to replace all three of them at once. Sancho's output is high enough at a good league to suggest that within a year or two he could be replacing Mane's, and if you add Werner (who I think is a potential superstar) to the mix we could get younger and better at the same time.

 

I'll admit it's not without risk but it's not a ridiculous idea.

No.

 

Sell Clyne, Lovren, Keita, Shaqiri, Origi, Wilson and Grujic, add it to the original transfer budget, and buy Werner and Sancho.

We should have the funds to add one of those to the squad anyway. I want to build, not replace.

Doubt most clubs are going to spend much money this summer. Probably the quietest transfer window ever. Any sale like this now feels like it has 0% chance of happening.

Take a look at nfl free agency in the states this week to see that you’re going to be wrong on that front.

NFL contracts are not fully guaranteed money. Football clubs are not going to be spending 100's of millions on single players this summer. No way.

Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of them are.

 

itll be suppressed somewhat, I’m sure, but assuming we get to a position where football has resumed enough to complete a season, money will fly about I’m certain.
