Liverpool winger Sadio Mane has admitted that he is in regular contact with his future teammate Naby Keita.
Mane is currently a part of the Senegal World Cup squad, with the team making their first appearance at the tournament since 2002.
He was asked about Keita, as the two played together a few years ago in Germany.
He said in an interview with France Football: "I know him well. He's more than a friend, he's a brother. We already played with each at RB Salzburg (in 2013-14).
"We often speak on the phone. He'll be very welcome. He's a talented player who's going to bring a lot to Liverpool."
