Spurs could be set to lose two key players to a pair of Serie A clubs, while Liverpool may also see one of their star forwards depart, according to Tuesday’s European papers.

 

REAL MADRID UP PURSUIT OF €180M LIVERPOOL MAN

Real Madrid are reportedly willing to offer Liverpool star Sadio Mane a huge incentive to try and lure him to the Bernabeu in a €180m deal.

Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Rodrygo have already arrived for just under £300m already this summer – but more could yet follow.

Real could be forced to sell a number of players who will see their game time drastically reduced next term, with claims Florentino Perez is now plotting a ‘fire sale’ of sorts in order to raise enough money to land one more big blockbuster name.

James Rodriguez, Isco, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez, Keylor Navas and Mariano Diaz have been transfer listed as they look to recoup a whopping €200million.

Recent reports – especially those from Spain – have suggested that Perez has his heart set on procuring Mane from Liverpool this summer.

And if the latest reports from Don Balon are to be believed then Los Blancos are ready to go all-out for the Senegal international by offering him a ket incentive.

Their report states that Real Madrid will give Mane the ‘fabled’ No.7 shirt should he agree to join this summer, though a deal is tipped to cost around €180m.

It has been previously suggested by the same outlet that Real are willing to offer Marco Asensio to Jurgen Klopp in order to try and reduce that asking price.

However, Liverpool have reportedly made it clear they ‘would not welcome any offers’ for Mane.
