Real Madrid are determined to test Liverpool's resolve with an offer for Sadio Mane.

A favourite of Real coach Zinedine Zidane, Mane came close to joining the Los Merengues last summer.

With Zidane insisting on free rein of transfers before agreeing to return, president Florentino Perez is ready to support his coach and bid for the Senegal international.

El Confidencial says, however, intermediaries have warned Perez that Liverpool have no need nor interest to sell.

Indeed, if the president wishes to bring Liverpool to the negotiating table he's been told he'll have to start the bidding at €150m - and expect to go higher.
