Liverpool may be alarmed after it was claimed Zinedine Zidane has made a star man his absolute top target, while Tottenham could bring a former Man City man back to the Premier League, according to Monday’s European papers.
ZIDANE MAKES SADIO MANE HIS NO 1 TARGET
Forget Eden Hazard, forget Kylian Mbappe, forget Neymar. Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is reported to have made Liverpool’s in-form star Sadio Mane is absolute top priority in the summer transfer window.
That’s according to Marca, who claim Zidane has ‘insisted’ to president Florentino Perez he breaks barriers and does ‘all in his power’ to bring the Liverpool attacker to the Bernabeu this summer.
And as per the report, Zidane is confident Real can get their man with it shown Liverpool are vulnerable to the very highest bids with previous talismanic stars Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez both lured away in the recent past.
It’s suggested that weakness will allow Real to make Liverpool an offer they simply can’t refuse for the Senegalese star, who only signed a new and improved contract at Anfield earlier in the season.
While Real’s interest in Mane is nothing new – they were linked with him last summer before Zidane stepped down – the fact that it’s now claimed the Frenchman is ‘hell-bent’ on signing the former Southampton man, may well now concern supporters.
Mane has been in electric form of late, surpassing Mohamed Salah as the club’s go-to source of goals.
It’s believed he would fetch an asking price of at least €150m (£128m), while Real could try to appease Liverpool by offering them their pick of some unwanted stars, Vinicius Junior and Toni Kroos perhaps being two.
