Liverpool have given a huge sigh of relief after it emerged that Real Madrid have made Borussia Dortmund's hit-man Erling Haaland their top target ahead of Sadio Mane

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has been a long-term target for La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Spain heavyweights have longly been on search for a goal-getting winger since the departure of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018.
This season, Mane has netted 16 times and provided eight assists for Liverpool, while also being a formidable name as the Anfield club come closer to winning their first top-flight title in thirty years.
It is unlikely that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp would allow Mane to leave his front-three this summer following reports that over a £100m price-tag has been stamped on the player's buyout clause.
Express Sports claims Liverpool have tagged over a £100million transfer fee on Mane to which frontrunners Real Madrid have been warded off.
According to the Express, Real would now consider cheaper options in their shopping list this term, in which one of them is Borussia Dortmund's Norwegian ace Erling Haaland.
Haaland current market valued has heightened to £50million since joining Borussia Dortmund from Salzburg in January for a £18million fee.
The 19-year-old has scored 12 goals in his first 11 appearances following his arrival to the German Bundesliga outfit.
