Real Madrid plans for Liverpool striker Sadio Mane being revived

Real Madrid's interest in Liverpool striker Sadio Mane is being revived.

The Sun says Real coach Zinedine Zidane is determined to land Mane and will push for a £150m summer transfer leaving Liverpool to turn to Kylian Mbappe.

It is not the first time Mane has been linked with Real Madrid, however, and his past comments suggest he is unlikely to be tempted to leave Anfield.

Mane was quizzed on interest from Real Madrid ahead of last year's Champions League final in the Spanish capital against Tottenham.

In response, he claimed it was a "pleasure" to be linked with the club but insisted people "don't forget Liverpool".

Most notably, he added "they beat the big teams" ahead of the biggest game of his career, which they won to become kings of Europe once again.

"Always this is part of football, so we have to deal with it, but for me the most important thing is Liverpool and I'm happy here," Mane said of the speculation.

"It's always a pleasure that this kind of team wants (you) but don't forget Liverpool. They beat big teams."
