Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane is dismissive of reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

The Senegalese international signed a new deal with the Reds in November, committing his future to the club.

And the 26-year-old is not worried about any transfer stories that may suggest he is close to leaving.

He told World Soccer: "Speculation is part of football. You just learn to live with it and not to take it too seriously.

"All I can say is that my only concern is Liverpool. Mo, Bobby... it seemed like everyone was signing contracts and they were saying: 'Hey Sadio, when are you going to sign?'. I said to each of them: 'Don't worry bro, I will sign'.

"And what did I do? I signed... so they are pleased now!

"I'm very happy here and I think people are happy with me too. We want to write our names alongside the many great ones in the story of this club. Hopefully it's the beginning of something special."
