Senegal's Sadio Mane to undergo medical at Liverpool: reports
Southampton's Senegalese striker Sadio Mane will undergo a medical at Liverpool on Monday after the clubs agreed a $40.2 million transfer, British media reported. The 24-year-old is expected to sign in the next couple of days if personal terms are agreed.Mane joined Southampton for $15.8 million from Red Bull Saltzburg two years ago and has scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League appearances, including two against Liverpool in a dramatic 3-2 win at St Mary's on March 20.Mane is set to become Liverpool's fourth signing of the summer after Joel Matip joined on a free transfer from Schalke, Marko Grujic left Red Star Belgrade, and goalkeeper Loris Karius was imported from Mainz.The Mane deal, if it materialises, would mean Southampton have received $122.6 million in transfer fees from Liverpool over the past three summers following similar moves by Adam Lallana ($33.5 million), Dejan Lovren ($26.8 million), Nathaniel Clyne ($16.7 million) and Rickie Lambert ($5.3 million). ..
