Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing the Liverpool attacker.

TOPSHOT - Real Madrid's French coach Zinedine Zidane looks on after a press conference to announce his resignation in Madrid on May 31, 2018. - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said today...

According to a report from Spanish media outlet El Chiringuito TV, Zinedine Zidane wants to bring Liverpool ace Sadio Mane to Real Madrid in the summer.

The 26-year-old joined the Reds from Southampton in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth £34 million, and he has gone on to rack up an impressive 50 goals and 20 assists in 109 appearances in all competitions for Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Mane is considered to be one of Liverpool’s most important players, and given the fact that he is still under contract with the Merseyside outfit until the summer of 2023, Klopp will surely fight tooth and nail to keep him at Anfield.

As has proven to be the case so often before, however, when Madrid want a player, they usually get their man, and that will strike fear into the hearts of Reds fans.

According to a report from Spanish media outlet El Chiringuito TV, Los Blancos could make a move for the Senegalese ace in the summer, as Zidane looks to freshen up his attacking options.

And if Madrid are to sign Mane, they will surely have to offer Liverpool a hugely substantial amount of money, although even that might not be enough to prise the 26-year-old away from Anfield.
