The Senegal international is being eyed by the La Liga giants as they look for possible Lionel Messi replacements. And he’s said to be excited about the prospect of linking up with old Southampton boss Ronald Koeman again over at the Nou Camp.
Liverpool has seen Mane flourish at Anfield ever since he arrived from Southampton back in the summer transfer window of 2016.
The Senegal international was a vital part of the side who won the Champions League in 2019, 12 months after they’d lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in the final.
Liverpool has seen Mane flourish at Anfield ever since he arrived from Southampton back in the summer transfer window of 2016.
The Senegal international was a vital part of the side who won the Champions League in 2019, 12 months after they’d lost 3-1 to Real Madrid in the final.
And Mane was vital as Liverpool ended their agonising wait for the Premier League title this year, scoring 18 goals and registering nine assists from 35 top-flight matches.
The Dutchman previously managed the Liverpool star at Southampton and played a key role in developing the forward earlier in their respective careers.
It’s claimed the Reds have decided they won’t let Mane go for anything less than £90m.

Four years later, Liverpool lost Luis Suarez to Barcelona with the Uruguay international moving to the Nou Camp in a huge £75m deal.
And, in January 2018, the Reds found themselves powerless to stop Philippe Coutinho from jumping ship with the Samba star moving to Barcelona for a massive £142m fee.
Now, Liverpool is facing a fight to keep the 28-year-old at Anfield.
