Liverpool watching Depay over Mane pressure

Liverpool are pondering a shock move for Lyon attacker Memphis Depay.

The Mirror says former Manchester United flop Depay, who is now rated at £50million, is looking to leave French club Lyon for ­another shot at one of Europe's major leagues.

And he is back on Anfield's radar, following Real Madrid 's interest in Sadio Mane.

Depay looked Merseyside-bound in 2015 – only for Louis van Gaal to sanction a ­£30m bid, which saw the 25-year-old leave PSV ­Eindhoven for United.

Liverpool have no intention of selling the talismanic Mane to Madrid.

But they are determined to have a replacement in the frame should Mane try to force the issue. They have been ­watching Depay regularly this season for club and country.
