Liverpool have reportedly received a bid of €70m for Sadio Mane from Borussia Dortmund.
This comes from TV2 Danmark (via LFC Transfer Room), with the Senegalese having suffered much critique for his perceived drop-off in form this term alongside fellow struggling forward Bobby Firmino.

While our 28-year-old forward has, by his own admission, not been at his best, the idea of parting ways with Mane after one relatively poor season seems a bit hasty.
We could certainly understand the interest in the No.10 given his status as one of Europe’s deadliest attackers.
By the accounts of various journalists – both those close to, and outside, the club – Liverpool will likely need to part ways with one of their famous front-three to free up funds for a move for one of Europe’s elite – a Kylian Mbappe-esque signing.
Ultimately, however, it’s a risk we can’t see Jurgen Klopp endorsing, and we’d be hugely surprised to see Mane switch the Premier League for the Bundesliga in the summer.
