Liverpool set to reward star striker Sadio Mane with bumper new contract

Liverpool are poised to reward Sadio Mane with a bumper new contract at Anfield.

The Senegalese striker is two years into his current deal on Merseyside and remains tied to the club until 2021.

But the rapid increase in Premier League wages since his arrival from Southampton, coupled with his impressive performances, have led Reds bosses to revise his terms.

The Daily Mirror suggests his hat-trick heroics in the Champions League demolition of Porto were the clincher and talks will begin shortly.

Mane is paid £80,000-a-week by Liverpool but can expect a new salary of double that if current market trends continue.

Jurgen Klopp sanctioned the £34million transfer of the player from the Saints in 2016 and has seen his value skyrocket as the goals flowed.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue to monitor Mohamed Salah’s career with interest as reports suggest he could be part of a major rebuilding project at the Santiago Bernabeu.
