5 players Real Madrid may target this summer

#5 Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane is in blistering goal-scoring form for Liverpool this season.

A dazzling forward who is always on the prowl, Sadio Mane is a continuous threat for the opposition throughout the game. The Senegalese star has incredible pace and power to trouble some of the best defences in the world. A testament to that, he is currently the joint-third in the EPL Golden Boot race with 17 goals. For a team which has found it way too hard to score this season, Real Madrid will be keen to bring him in.

Mane is another favourite of Zidane and the Madrid coach reportedly wants to see him in the white of his club next season. The goal-threat and dynamism that Mane offers on the flanks is something that Madrid have sorely missed this season with wide players like Bale and Asensio failing to finish their chances. Having Mane, to call upon, in his ranks would definitely help the French mastermind in un-complicating Los Merengues' scoring strategy and would add incisiveness to a side that has lacked creativity in the final third throughout this season.

While it would be difficult to pry away such a big name from Liverpool Coach Jurgen Klopp's hands, there is historical evidence that suggests many managers have successfully done it. And, if Zidane approaches this deal the same way he has approached his UCL campaigns till now, we may very well see Mane butchering LaLiga defences while wearing a distinctly white apron in 2019-20.
