Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane had agreed to join Real Madrid before Zinedine Zidane's resignation, it has been revealed.

France Football says Real had agreed personal terms with Mane and all that needed to be done was agree a fee with Liverpool.

The decision to take Mane to Real was reportedly made by club president Florentino Perez, who will now wait until he has appointed a new manager before seeing if the deal will still go ahead.

Ihe Liverpool forward was poised to become the European champions' first signing of the summer, as they look to renovate their squad.

But Zidane's shock decision to walk away from the Bernabeu means that the deal has become complicated.

It is claimed that the decision to move for Mane was made prior to the Champions League final.
