Liverpool Player Sadio Mane Speaks On Joining Real Madrid

Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane, has downplayed speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid this summer.

Real have reportedly made Mane, 27, a top target ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Senegal international has scored 25 goals this season for the Reds, helping Jurgen Klopp’s side challenge for the Premier League and Champions League.

In a pre-match press conference ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final clash at Barcelona, Mane was asked whether he would be interested in playing in Spain and the reports linking him with Real Madrid.

He said: “I think you guys write it [the rumours]. I just read it with my friends.

“I respect the [Spanish] league, it’s a good league with great players. But the Premier League is also a wonderful league, everyone wants to play here.

“I have this opportunity [at Liverpool] so I think it’s cool.”
