Liverpool could go as high as £36M for Southampton attacker Sadio Mane

Liverpool could pay as much as £36m for Southampton attacker Sadio Mane.

Mane is undergoing a medical at Liverpool, with the Anfield club having agreed a fee between £34m and £36m with Southampton.

A deal to sign Mane could be completed by midweek, making him the fifth player from St Mary's to join Liverpool in the last three seasons.

Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne are still at Anfield, while Rickie Lambert moved on to West Brom after just one season with his boyhood favourites.

The 24-year-old would be Liverpool's fourth new signing for the 2016-17 season, following deals for midfielder Marko Grujic, centre-back Joel Matip and goalkeeper Loris Karius.

The fee would make Mane the club's second most expensive signing, behind only Andy Carroll.
