Liverpool FC transfer news: Liverpool can sign Marco Asensio but have to send Sadio Mane the other way

The Egyptian has won two Golden Boots since joining from AS Roma, and the Reds have been a little lucky in terms of the player’s fitness.

However, Mane was just as important a figure in our previous season as he also shared the Golden Boot with Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

That was also his best season in terms of scoring goals, and the Senegal international has only improved with every season under Jurgen Klopp.

Asensio didn’t have a great campaign for the La Liga giants, and only racked up one goal and four assists in the league.

Zinedine Zidane returned to manage Real after leaving in the previous summer and has spent huge to land Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard and other players.

Liverpool should even think of selling Mane

The Senegal international will improve further under Klopp, and selling him now doesn’t really make a lot of sense.

The 27-year-old is one of the best in the Premier League and has formed a great understanding with Roberto Firmino and Salah.
