Liverpool Are Now Making Plans For Mane's Exit And Have A Big Signing In Mind

Klopp is reportedly a big fan of Leeds forward Raphinha, but Liverpool face competition from Barcelona.

Liverpool have now begun planning for Sadio Mane to leave this summer, and see Brazilian star Raphinha as a potential replacement.

The Mirror are reporting that Klopp is a big fan of the 25 year old Leeds forward.

The Brazilian winger has just completed his 2nd campaign in England, impressing pundits and fans alike in the process. His 11 goals in the league were vital, with him being the driving force behind Leeds United’s dramatic survival in the top flight.

Raphinha has already been linked to Barcelona, with Xavi keen for an Ousmane Dembélé replacement. However, with the recent developments of Mané, Liverpool are ramping up interest in the 25 year-old Brazilian.

Klopp is reportedly a big fan of Raphinha, with his flashy performances standing out in a relatively poor Leeds side. The winger is said to be valued at £60m, a price the Reds should be able to pay.

Although Liverpool will be facing competition for the player's signature in the form of Barcelona, the club from Catalan are still in huge debt. A factor which means they must sell before they buy this summer. Therefore giving Liverpool the upper hand in the race for Raphinha already.

Reports state that back-up attacker Takumi Minamino could also be the bait to lure the Brazilian to Merseyside, with a player plus cash deal not off the cards.

The Japanese play-maker has had a rather underwhelming stint at Liverpool since his arrival in 2020, with a permanent exit looking more than likely this summer. A player plus cash deal for Raphinha may just work well for all parties, with the Brazilian also actively looking for a move this summer.

Whether that will be a move to Barcelona or Liverpool still remains to be seen.
