Reds will press ahead with a sensational world record move for PSG forward Kylian Mbappe if Real Madrid takes Sadio Mane this summer.
On the other hand Mane at the right place of his career to experience football in Spain.
Liverpool are wanting to keep hold of Mane and would demand in more than £150million if the previous Southampton ace states his intention to maneuver to the Bernabeu.
Mane signed a replacement deal at Anfield 18 months ago, putting the Reds during a strong negotiating position. But the club have won't keep any player that doesn’t want to remain and can sanction Mane’s departure if his intention is to transfer elsewhere.
It’s claimed that Madrid have already been connected with Mane’s representatives to sound him out over a move and they’ve clearly been encouraged by his initial response.
Madrid had been expected to transfer for Mbappe but signing Mane would blow a sizeable hole in their budget.
Liverpool therefore believe they might inadvertently be left leading the race for the Frenchman and feel that they’d be during a position to sanction a record globally £250m move for the PSG forward, according to the Sun.
