Liverpool’s Sadio Mane has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told his official YouTube channel that there is no truth to rumours linking Real Madrid with a move for Liverpool’s Sadio Mane.
Whilst Mohamed Salah was expected to be the player to fire Liverpool to the Premier League title this season, it’s Mane who has really stepped up of late.
The Senegal international has scored 10 goals in his last 10 games, including a run of a brace in three games out of four before scoring against Fulham.
Mane has smashed 20 goals this season, and whilst registering only one assist is something of a shock, the 26-year-old has become Liverpool’s most reliable attacker in recent weeks.
Now though, France Football report that Real Madrid want Mane this summer, as Zinedine Zidane had lined him up as his first summer signing before abruptly quitting the job.
Zidane is now back as Real boss, and those reports suggested that the interest in Mane has returned too, leaving some Reds fans concerned.
However, Spanish football expert and insider Guillem Balague has revealed that there is no interest in Mane, with Real Instead looking to bring in a striker, a centre back and a couple of midfielders.
“No,” said Balague. “The intention is to get a striker. No Mane, at the moment. They want as well a centre back, a couple of midfielders, but Zidane wants to see who responds to him in the next couple of months,” he added.
