Liverpool close in on £25m Mario Gotze alternative
LIVERPOOL are reportedly closing in on the signing of Southampton star Sadio Mane
Posted Thursday, June 23, 2016 by Dailystar.co.uk
Starsport recently revealed that Jurgen Klopp has turned to the speedy winger after seemingly missing out on top target Mario Gotze.
And now The Sun claim he is on the verge of landing his man.
The Reds are said to be close to completing a £25m deal for the 24-year-old.
That's £15m less than the £40m Southampton were previously claimed to be demanding.
Mane arrived on the south coast for £11.8m in 2014, joining the Saints from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg.
And the Senegal international has gone on to make a huge impact at St Mary's, scoring 11 top flight goals and providing eight assists in the season just gone.
He also bagged the fastest ever Premier League hat-trick in just two minutes and 56 seconds against Aston Villa last May.
If the deal goes through, Mane will become the latest in a long line of Southampton stars to swap St Mary's for Anfield in recent windows.
Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Rickie Lambert have all completed the move over the last two summers.
