Sadio Mane’s move to Real Madrid “is basically dead” according to Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, this is after rumors of Senegalese forward being close to joining Los Blancos.
Marca reported earlier this month that Madrid
Mane joined Liverpool from Southampton and has been instrumental for the Merseyside side club since then and recently scored a brace to help Liverpool to the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Bayern Munich.
Speaking on his Youtube channel, Balague revealed that Mane’s move to Real Madrid has collapsed, ” We do know for certain that Zidane wanted Mane to come [last] summer. Conversations took place, as in Real Madrid showed interest in him. But of course Zidane left, and that was that. So it was an easy story to recover – and that’s what has happened. The story’s out there again but the problem is Liverpool have basically no interest whatsoever in getting rid of Mane.
“There is no buyout clause. There is no way to actually get Mane out of Liverpool. So with that in mind I would say that story is basically dead.”
