Liverpool: Mane move to Real Madrid is ‘possible’ says pundit
Liverpool star Sadio Mane continues to be targeted by Real Madrid, who are willing to splash a whopping £140million for his signature. Mane has played an integral part in the Reds’ spectacular campaign this season that will almost definitely see them being crowned champions for the first time in 30 years.
According to theDaily Mirror, the winger’s form has endeared him even more greatly to Real boss Zinedine Zidane, who is looking to add some spark in his attack.
Los Blancos are confident they can lure the Senegal international over at the Santiago Bernabeu by presenting him with a new and exciting challenge.
Liverpool, though, will only consider letting the 27-year-old go for a whopping offer and that is why Real are willing to pay £140m.
But who could the Reds sign to replace Mane up front? Express Sport takes you through three potential options:

Timo Werner
Timo Werner has been linked with a move to Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window following some stunning performances for RB Leipzig.
Werner has scored a staggering total of 27 goals in 36 appearances this season and played a critical role in Leipzig’s qualification to the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Germany international plays mainly as a centre-forward but can also operate on the left wing where Mane is usually placed in Jurgen Klopp’s line-up.

Kylian Mbappe is the unlikely option of the three as Paris Saint-Germain are very reluctant to sell and even if they do agree to let him go they will demand a significant fee.
However, if Liverpool manage to sell Mane for at least £140m then they could use that money to lure Mbappe away from Paris.
It would be a very difficult feat, but the Reds have established themselves as one of the biggest clubs in the world that would present the centre-forward with a much bigger challenge than PSG could ever offer.
