Liverpool are about handing Sadio Mane a bumper new contract to fend off interest from Real Madrid once and for all, according to reports.
Mane’s amazing performances saw him voted the world's fourth best player at last year's Ballon d'Or ceremony.
The Senegalese sensation penned a five-year deal at Anfield back in November 2018.
But despite this, talk of interest from Zinedine Zidane's side has continued to linger.
Now Football Insider claim Liverpool are ready to offer Mane a lucrative extension that would see him finish his career on Merseyside.
Mane’s current contract is due to expire when he is 31, but his irresistible performances have convinced Reds' chiefs that he must be tied down beyond that age.
Madrid's hopes of signing the 28-year-old this summer may just not be feasible.
