Liverpool would be ‘open’ to selling Sadio Mane says pundit
Liverpool should sell Sadio Mane instead of either Roberto Firmino or Mohamed Salah in the summer, amid reports suggesting Real Madrid want to sign the Senegalese striker. That’s the opinion of ESPN insider Gab Marcotti.
Liverpool’s front three have been on fire this season, having found the net 38 times between them in the Premier League.
The Reds currently hold an incredible 25-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, but could be made to wait before winning their first title in 30 years.
As a result of the spread of coronavirus, the Premier League is currently suspended until April 3.
Due to the lack of action on the pitch, teams are starting to draft up plans for the summer transfer window, which could also be impacted by the suspension to the league.

Speaking on ESPN FC, Marcotti explained he believes Mane will be the most sell-able of the three forwards.
“If they could get the right price, Liverpool would be open to selling one of those three,” he explained.
“Of those three, Mane is the most sellable asset.
“Real Madrid need attacking players, because the ones they have are getting old or almost permanently injured, or players that Zinedine Zidane doesn’t want like Gareth Bale.
