Real Madrid told to pay £196 million for Sadio Mane by Liverpool

Real Madrid are all set to undergo a squad overhaul in the summer and on top of manager Zinedine Zidane's list is Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane. Real Madrid have had an utterly forgettable season where they've had to sack 2 managers- Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari.

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus have dried up the goals at the Bernabeu and several players are all set to face the axe in the summer. Having enquired about Sadio Mane's availability, Real Madrid have been shocked to have learnt from Liverpool that the Senegalese international has been priced at a whopping £196 million by the Merseysiders.

Jurgen Klopp has built a formidable team in London and does not want to see one of his most prominent players leave the club at this vital juncture and will not even entertain the idea unless the offer is too good to be rejected.
