# Virals: Liverpool star Sadio Mane ‘willing’ to make switch to La Liga giants

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/09/gabby-agbonlahor-believes-liverpool-will-be-angry-following-transfer-failure/) forward [Sadio Mane](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/07/virals-sadio-mane-shows-humility-following-glorious-afcon-success/) would reportedly be ‘willing’ to make the switch to either Barcelona or Real Madrid.

This comes after the 29-year-old fired [Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations glory](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10485797/AFCON-Sadio-Mane-standout-player-Sportsmail-provides-awards-Cameroon.html) over Egypt and Reds’ teammate Mohamed Salah.

The flying winger is out of contract in 2023 and at present, there would appear to be no talk of an extension to a [six-year spell](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/transfers/spieler/200512) at Anfield.

According to a report from [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/will-real-madrid-barcelona-linked-mane-leave-liverpool/blt99ed39c7eea0b4fa), as cited by [Transfer News Live](https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive) on Twitter, Mane would consider a switch to La Liga.

The report claims that both Spanish giants have been ‘sniffing around’ the [86-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/nationalmannschaft/spieler/200512/verein_id/3499) ace for some time and could fulfil a ‘dream’ move for the forward.

This season Mane has [scored 10 times and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdaten/spieler/200512) in 26 appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Whilst potentially selling the integral [£72million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/marktwertverlauf/spieler/200512) star is nigh on unthinkable to a majority of Liverpool supporters, both the signing of Luis Diaz and the contract situation does raise the question.

In the main, the Anfield club have utilised a sell-to-buy mantra under the ownership of FSG and it seems implausible that the board would be willing to lose such a [valuable asset](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liverpool/marktwertanalyse/verein/31) for nothing in 2023.

With new contracts also [required](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/vertragsende/verein/31/vertragsendeJahr/2023) for Salah, Roberto Firmno, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, there are certainly big calls coming down the pipeline at Liverpool and whether or not to cash in on Mane could be amongst them.
