: Liverpool value Sadio Mané at around €50M (£42.5M) and they would need to have a suitable replacement lined up before sanctioning a sale.

Senior Anfield sources have dismissed suggestions that a deal could be done for around €30M (£25.5M).

Why are we being linked with Dembélé? If Mane does go, we need a goalscorer, not one who is hit and miss with a 1:5 goal ratio.
Everyone has been linked to Dembele, its his agent.

Contract running down, clearly Barca aren't offering what the agent wants or he just wants out. Either way they're trying to stir up interest in the hope someone blinks.

Yup. Its all about keeping his name out there so there's some small bit of urgency on either the real buying side or the barca contract side.

In reality I don't actually know what this kind of game really does for anyone.

He is now officially out of contract and barca season is over so he really ought to be getting on with it or whoever was really the intended new club should have him for preseason etc.

The fact its still trundling along suggests he's not got the offer he wants yet.
 
Nkuku would seem like the right kind of player. Can play across from 3 although mainly from the left so maybe not a high priority unless Jota is made into a central only striker.

24 so just at right age, great season last year in terms of goals and assists and plays for RBL who we obviously have previous connections with.

I do wonder as well if we go in for a left footed winger, whether might see Salah play more centrally. Seems to have lost that bit of pace and burst (may have been fatigue at end of season) and has played centrally before for us and scored goals. Would be very different from the false 9 role though so I guess depends how klopp sees us setting up next year. Always an option in some games though

Didn't Mané say he had "special news" for after the final? Is him leaving considered special news for the fans? To be special it would have to involve a swap deal with Lewandowski coming our way <whistle>

the only attributable quote was him saying he wouldn't talk about it til after.

clearly nobody was actually arsed to go ask him since.
 
LIVERPOOL EYEING £30M WINDFALL
Liverpool could inject around £30m into Jurgen Klopp’s transfer kitty if a double sale can be sanctioned this summer, per a report.

The Reds will waste little time moving on from their disappointing end to the campaign. The Express previously reported Liverpool may make just one major acquisition this summer. However, the latest on Sadio Mane suggests they’ll be busier than first thought.

To ensure Klopp has the funding he requires, Nat Phillips and Neco Williams could leave on permanent deals this summer.
 
Doubt we’ll get half that. Phillips prob about £5m. Missed out on big fee last summer after he played games for us.

Williams might get £10m, £15m at a big push but can’t see clubs spending that on a player with half a season of football under his belt.
 
Wouldn't want him
He doesn't fit the profile, plus Klopp tends to not want the same player twice but if it's Mané to Bayern for £30m or £30m and Lewandowski, I'd say that could be seen as the 'special' news he was on about.

Btw I don't think it will happen, just idle speculation on my part trying to raise my enthusiasm after the events of the weekend knocked it out of me.

Not quite. What he actually said was:
“But come back to me on Saturday and I will give you the best answer you want to hear, for sure. It’s special. I will give you all you want to hear then.
Given that English isn't his first language this could just be a poor choice of words, but "I'm leaving" isn't what most would describe as a special answer - the best one you want to hear.

A few other players at Bayern that I'd prefer
