Liverpool could only consider parting with Sadio Mane in the next transfer window if they have a deal in place for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, says former Reds star Steve Nicol.

The former Reds defender told ESPN FC when asked about the prospect of parting with Senegalese star Mane: “That’s only any good if you bring in Timo Werner.

“Unfortunately there aren’t many [players like Werner] around. What if Werner wants to go elsewhere?

“The way it’s being talked about is if it’s done. ‘Timo Werner says he wants to go, so it’s done’.

“Guess what, there was a guy called Kylian Mbappe who told everyone he wanted to go to Real Madrid, he ended up at PSG.”
