Sadio Mane replacement emerges as Liverpool open 'talks' with €80m Bayern Munich star

With just under a week left until the summer transfer window opens, Liverpool will be looking to ramp up their pursuit of arrivals.

Coming dangerously close to completing an unprecedented quadruple, Jurgen Klopp will be keen on going again and lifting even more silverware next May. But in order to do so, the Reds may need to replace some key figures in the Anfield dressing room as speculation continues to grow that Sadio Mane is nearing the exits.

Replacing him will be a difficult task but with the names linked to Merseyside, there's every chance the transition is a smooth one with targets already lined up. We have rounded up the latest Reds transfer gossip below.

HAVE YOUR SAY: What do Liverpool need this summer?

Who?

Christian Pulisic

Where?

The Daily Star.

What?

Liverpool are reportedly looking at Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic as a replacement for Sadio Mane.

Mane continues to be linked with a move away from Anfield and despite having Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and the incoming Fabio Carvalho to replace Mane, The Mirror believes that Jurgen Klopp will turn to the United States international who has struggled for consistency in west London.

Who?

Serge Gnabry

Where?

Anfield Central.

What?

Another potential Mane replacement, Liverpool will be hoping to take advantage of Serge Gnabry looking to leave Bayern Munich.

With just 12 months left on his deal, like Mane, the former Arsenal attacker has reportedly decided to leave for pastures new and the Reds are a likely destination. Anfield Central claim that the two sides have held talks and that the German international is seeking £250,000 a week should he sign for the Merseyside club. The report goes on to claim that Bayern value Gnabry at €80m but because of the time left on his contract they ‘understand they will have to accept as little as €35-€40m (£30m-£34m)’.

Who?

Nicolo Barella

Where?

The Express.

What?

With Auelien Tchouameni set to join Real Madrid, Liverpool are looking at other midfield options and have turned their attentions to Inter's Nicolo Barella.

The Express claim that the Italian can be signed for £60million, slightly cheaper than what the Reds would have spent on the French youngster. Barella was part of the Inter side that failed to win Serie A this season but did manage 13 assists in 36 league games this season, adding a further three goals as well.
