Liverpool are reportedly prepared to make a world-record £250million bid for Kylian Mbappe, should Real Madrid land Sadio Mane.
Liverpool forward Mane is high on Real Madrid's transfer wishlist and Zinedine Zidane is determined to get his man in the summer window.
Senegal international Mane put pen to paper on new terms with Liverpool just 18 months ago. The 28-year-old signed a deal worth £150,000-a-week, which will keep him on Merseyside until 2023.
But according to The Sun, Mane's representatives have been approached about a possible transfer away from Anfield.
Mane is expected to snub Los Blancos, but should Real Madrid entice the forward to Spain, Liverpool will reportedly move quickly to replace him with Mbappe.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward would set Liverpool back a world-record £250million transfer fee.
But the sale of Mane would generate a reported £150million.
This, combined with the £100million Liverpool are expected to make per year after signing a lucrative deal with new kit sponsors Nike, means the switch is viable.
One stumbling block for the Reds is Mbappe's £400,000-a-week wages.
In February Liverpool announced a record turnover of £533million, which saw them make a huge profit of £42million.
Jadon Sancho and Timo Werner are two players also on Liverpool's radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
Werner is the more likely of the two stars to join Liverpool given Sancho is expected to sign for the Reds' bitter Premier League rivals Manchester United.
