Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly the favourites to sign Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane this summer.
Mane has been a key figure for Liverpool since signing from Southampton. Jurgen Klopp has developed him into not only one of the best forward players in the Premier League, but one of the finest you’ll find anywhere on the planet.
As a result of his own performances, his success with Senegal and the superb campaign Liverpool have enjoyed thus far, Mane is even considered among the frontrunners to win the Ballon D’Or, which would be quite the compliment.

However, there does appear to be a legitimate possibility that he’s not playing in Liverpool colours when that ceremony takes place, with the goal machine being linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.
TRUE✅ If Sadio Mané will leave @LFC the big favorite for a Transfer is @PSG_inside. the strong interest and high salary at Paris are the reason why he hesitates to sign a new contract at Liverpool @FCBayern #EnglischeWoche pic.twitter.com/lW26HVWBLc

PSG could be losing Kylian Mbappe so would presumably be in the market for another world-class attacker. Mane would certainly fit the bill, but his exit from Liverpool is far from confirmed at this point.
The Reds will undoubtedly be keen to convince him to commit to a new contract, but they have been unable to find a breakthrough with Mohamed Salah, too, which will do nothing to ease Liverpool fans anxiety.
