Liverpool Transfer News: Klopp is said to be a keen admirer of the French attacking player with Liverpool interested in a 50 million euro switch

With us in the tailend of the 2020-21, the transfer rumour has started working overtime. Strings of reports have been floating around the last couple of days as clubs look to engage in doing business in the impending time.

However, one report which seems to actually hold weightage is of Sadio Mane eyeing an exit from the club. Mane’s petulant nature has seen him sulk around on the pitch for the majority of the ongoing season, decadent attitude which has resulted in a calamitous downtick of form for him.

According to journalist Daniel Nielson, Borussia Dortmund are set to bid for the Senegalese superstar before the end of the month.  The German side is eager to bring in Mane with the club having resigned itself to losing both Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland in the next few months.

And given Mane’s ongoing peril at Liverpool as was highlighted in the fracas between him and Klopp, a move could very well be on the cards.

In the midst of these reports, Liverpool are said to have already eyed a replacement for the Senegalese. According to Spanish outlet El Gol Digital, Liverpool are said to be on the anvil of making a 50 million euro offer for Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona.
