Sadio Mane’s stunning Premier League form in Liverpool colours have caught the eye of La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is ready to make the move to Real Madrid, the forward’s former Southampton team-mate Oriol Romeu has told Marca.
Romeu played alongside the Senegal international between 2014 and 2016, Mane scoring 21 Premier League goals for The Saints to earn a big-money switch to Liverpool three years ago.
And the one-time Red Bull Salzburg attacker has continued to go from strength to strength at Anfield. Mane has already equalled last season’s tally of 20 with his irrepressible form since the turn of the year putting Jurgen Klopp’s side in contention for Premier League and Champions League glory.
Though Mane’s future beyond the summer has been called into question with Marca claiming that Real Madrid are preparing a £73 million bid.
The La Liga giants appear to be returning to their Galactico days after a dismal season and Romeu believes that Mane has everything it takes to make the step up to Real.
“Yes, he is ready, Madrid are a bit weak in attack and he is a type of player who does a lot of damage, he could help them to reverse their current situation,” the former Chelsea youngster told Marca.
“At Liverpool has grown a lot this season.”
Marca claims that Mane is happy at Liverpool but has been ‘seduced’ by the idea of working under Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabau. Worrying times ahead for The Reds then.
