Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Marco Asensio from Real Madrid but the Spanish club want Sadio Mane in exchange, per the Daily Express.
What’s the word?
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is said to be a big fan of the Spain international, who the Express claim has an £85m asking price.
As such, Real could be set to propose a massive swap deal that would see Asensio move to Anfield and Mane head to Madrid.
Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is said to admire the Senegal international’s talents as he looks to overhaul his squad.
And letting Mane leave, the Express report, could allow Liverpool to then swoop for Nicolas Pepe, the Lille winger who is also being courted by PSG.

A crazy deal
There are a lot of moving parts in this deal but one feels Liverpool would be absolutely crazy to cash in on a player of Mane’s quality, even if it is for Asensio.
Just last season, he scored 26 goals in all competitions, along with registering five assists.
He has formed an exceptional partnership with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino; why would Klopp throw that away for a player who has absolutely no experience in the Premier League?
On top of that, while Asensio has shown his talents on occasion with simply sublime long-range goals, last season was a poor one for him – managing just a single goal in La Liga.
The idea of Liverpool swapping a forward in such incredible form, who has already proved he can master Klopp’s system, for another in such lacklustre form verges upon laughable.
It simply doesn’t make sense, even from a Real Madrid perspective given that they have already signed Eden Hazard from Chelsea this summer.
Although Mane has played as a right winger and a supporting striker before, the left flank saw him produce Golden Boot-winning form in the Premier League last season, but that’s also Hazard’s best position – drifting into more central areas on his stronger right foot. Are Real Madrid really going to sign two top-quality left wingers in the same transfer window?
From top to bottom, there’s no logic whatsoever in this deal.
