Sadio Mane is angry at Liverpool FC for a failed transfer to Real Madrid in the summer, according to a report from Spain.
Spanish media Sport, as quoted by Metro, reports that the Senegal international was upset that Liverpool FC refused to speak to Real Madrid about a transfer deal last year.
The same article claims that the Liverpool FC star was not happy that the Reds did not have a possible discussion with the La Liga giants last summer.
By the same story, FC Barcelona have not placed Mane high on their wish list of possible Lionel Messi replacements despite claims made elsewhere.
Sport Go on to add that the Premier League champions are unlikely to sanction the sale of one of their key players in the 2020 summer transfer window.
Mane played a key role in Liverpool FC’s first Premier League title last season after the 28-year-old scored 18 times and provided seven assists in 35 Premier League games last season.
The African forward has played a key role in Liverpool FC’s spell of dominance with Jurgen Klopp after his move to the Anfield team from Southampton in a £ 30 million deal in 2016.
Mane has scored 81 times in 170 games in all competitions over the past four seasons for the Merseyside team.
Liverpool FC will begin their title defense with a clash against Leeds United at Anfield on Saturday 12 September.
The Reds only signed Greek international Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos in a £ 10 million deal earlier this month.
