Real Madrid are willing to break the bank to prise Sadio Mane away from Liverpool.

The Sun says Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is a huge fan of the Senegal star, 28, and the Anfield hierarchy are bracing themselves for an approach.

Mane only signed his £150,000-a-week contract, designed to keep him with Liverpool until 2023, 18 months ago.

But his representatives have already been approached for informal talks on a possible move.

Mane is not pressing to leave and Liverpool are determined to see off Madrid — just as they did last year when Zidane had his eye on Mo Salah.
