Euro Paper Talk: Klopp sets out colossal €205m double demand to allow Mane exit; rivals beat Man Utd to £130m midfielder Jurgen Klopp has demanded that two players come to Liverpool if Sadio Mane leaves, while Man City are closing in on a €150m Man Utd target, according to Tuesday’s European papers.

LIVERPOOL IN ASTRONOMICAL DEMAND FOR MANE DEAL

Jurgen Klopp wants Raphael Varane to join Liverpool if he is to sell Sadio Mane this summer, shock reports from Spain suggest.

Recent speculation has claimed that the Reds have apparently told Real it will cost a huge £196million to sign Mane this summer.

That came after Spanish newspaper El Confidencial claimed last week that Zidane had earmarked Mane as the star man he wants this summer.

Now, dubious Spanish transfer outlet Don Balon provides an update on the situation by suggesting that Klopp has set out his demands to facilitate Mane’s exit.

They claim that Nabil Fekir has already been chosen as the Senegal international’s replacement and that the Merseysiders will go back in for the Lyon star this summer.

Fekir seemed almost certain to quit Lyon for Anfield last summer, with the two clubs agreeing a fee of €65m before the start of the World Cup.

Liverpool meanwhile have apparently told Florentino Perez that Mane will cost €180million if they want to sign him outright, but Madrid ‘do not expect to spend more than €110million.’

As a result, the idea of a counterpart in the deal has been discussed, and Klopp has identified Raphael Varane as the man he wants as part of a blockbuster swap.

However, there are still differences, as Real are willing to offer Varane plus €20m as they value the World Cup winner at €120m, but the Premier League leaders want €60m in cash as well as the Frenchman.
