With Mario Gotze attempting to remain at Bayern Munich, Liverpool are considering a move for Sadio Mane of Southampton.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur also have interest in Mane.

The Senegal international is of interest to Jürgen Klopp, who is in the market for a forward who suits his high-intensity pressing game at Liverpool and had hoped to sign Götze from Bayern Munich for a fee of around £20 million.

Mané would cost significantly more than the £20 million earmarked for Götze and remains under contract at Southampton until 2018.
