Real Madrid Agree Deal In Principle With Sadio Mané

Real Madrid have a agreed a deal in principle for attacker Sadio Mane. The Reds attacker helped the Merseyside club reach the Champions League final in Kiev, where they lost to Los Blancos 3-1, and finish fourth in the Premier League.

The La Liga giants, however, lost their star manager Zinedine Zidane last week. He left the side saying that they needed a different voice.

His departure has put the Mane deal in doubt.

However, the former Southampton player Mane is on the top of Real's hit list for this summer's transfer targets.

Mane makes up a part of last season's famous attacking trio which included Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.

It's thought that the 26-year-old is the more accessible option for the club, with Neymar, Salah, and Harry Kane all practically unobtainable.

Could the three be separated already?
