€150m Sadio Mane is ‘Zidane’s Plan B’

Sadio Mane has reportedly risen to become Real Madrid’s transfer plan B.

PSG’s Kylian Mbappe is believed to be top of the three-time Champions League-winning coach’s priority roster next transfer window.

However, the Paris-based moneybags are said to be reluctant to let the France World Cup winner go despite Mbappe naming Madrid as his dream club.

Real were on terrific form lately in the Spanish Laliga prior to losses to Levante and Manchester City rendering them leapfrogged in the domestic table and on the cusp of an embarrassing exit from the Champions League.

Youngster Rodrygo’s form has spiralled downwards while Gareth Bale has plummeted in the coach’s order of preference with the injury to marquee buy Eden Hazard only compounding the situation further for the Bernabeu outfit.

Zidane has, as claimed by a report in Dakar, identified Sadio Mane as a plan B in the event he fails to trigger Mbappe’s exit who’s reportedly tagged as a “must-buy” for president Florentina Perez in the future.

Giving credence to this report, Diario Goal, a Spanish publication say Mane valued at €150m by the Anfield, could leave Jurgen Klopp if an offer is tabled for the African Player of the Year.
