Liverpool have completed the signing of Senegal attacker Sadio Mane from Southampton.
The 24-year-old arrives at Anfield for a fee reported to be around £30 million, making him the Reds’ third most expensive signing of all-time, behind Christian Benteke and Andy Carroll. Some reports have suggested the eventual fee could eclipse the £35 million spent on Carroll.
Mane arrives just in time to join up with his new team mates when they return for pre-season training on Saturday, with Jurgen Klopp keen to have as many of his players available for the full pre-season.
He’ll join fellow new signings Loris Karius, Joel Matip and Marko Grujic at Melwood, and could make his first appearance for the Reds in the pre-season friendly at Tranmere next Friday.
“Today is a big day and I am very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in Europe,” said Mane.
“It’s a club that has won a lot of trophies and has a big history.
“Now I am looking forward to meeting all the staff and my teammates and starting the season.”
