Liverpool are worried about the contract situation of Sadio Mané – amidst fears that the Senegal international could leave the club this summer.
Mane is under contract at Anfield until 2022, but, despite a new deal worth £220,000 having been on the table for him for 9 months, he has so far refused to sign it.
And the vultures are starting to circle, with both PSG and Real Madrid potentially interested in making a £150 million move for the player whom Liverpool signed from Southampton for £34 million in 2016.
The current African Player of the Year, Mané has since scored 77 goals for Liverpool in 162 appearances, but, at 28 years old, could be tempted to make the last big money move of his career.
If Mane is to leave there have been suggestions that he could be offered to PSG as part of a swap deal with Kylian Mbappée coming the other way.
