Sadio Mane closing on Liverpool move with medical coming on Monday

Sadio Mane could be leaving Southampton for Liverpool

Sadio Mane will undergo a medical at Liverpool on Monday after they agreed a £30m fee with Southampton for the forward.

A deal to sign Mane could be completed by midweek, making him the fifth player from St Mary's to join Liverpool in the last three seasons.

Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne are still at Anfield, while Rickie Lambert moved on to West Brom after just one season with his boyhood favourites.

The 24-year-old would be Liverpool's fourth new signing for the 2016-17 season, following deals for midfielder Marko Grujic, centre-back Joel Matip and goalkeeper Loris Karius.

A £30m fee would make Mane the club's third most expensive signing, behind only Andy Carroll and current Reds striker Christian Benteke, a £32.5m arrival from Aston Villa last summer.

The Senegal international has scored 21 Premier League goals in 67 games since signing for the Saints from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago.

Mane could move to Liverpool for a deal worth around £30m

Mane scored twice against Liverpool in March as Southampton fought back from 2-0 down to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory at St Mary's Stadium.

If Mane does leave, he would become the second high-profile departure from Southampton this summer, following Victor Wanyama's move to Tottenham.
