Yours for £30m: Liverpool open talks for relegated forward
An attacking regeneration is coming to Liverpool this summer.
It looks like Arne Slot and Richard Hughes are planning once again to overhaul the frontline.
Having paid British record fees for both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak in 2025 - not to mention a £69m deal for Hugo Ekitke - this time the changes will come out wide.
Mohamed Salah will be leaving the club on a free transfer and Federico Chiesa is likely to join him on the exit ramp.
That opens a gap for a one-v-one specialist out wide and it looks like the Premier League champions will be in the race for Mateus Mane of Wolves.
Rob Edwards’ side’s relegation to the Championship is now confirmed - and the process of cashing in on top assets will begin.
According to a report in Sports Boom Manchester United are looking for a quick deal for Mane - who is also admired by Arsenal.

But Liverpool are seeking to steal a march on rivals by opening talks with the Portuguese player’s family.
“Liverpool has already conducted a preliminary meeting with Mané's family,” the report reads.
“Although Liverpool views Mané as a "future investment," the player’s Premier League experience is deemed sufficient to put him directly onto the pitch.”
Secured on a deal until 2029 it was initially speculated that the winger / attacking midfielder would go for between £40m and £50m.
But owing to the club’s relegation status that price has now come down dramatically.
“Due to the player's determination to leave and the club's need for cash, this figure is more likely to flex towards the £30 million mark.”
Mateus Mané is an 18‑year‑old Anglo‑Portuguese attacking midfielder/forward who has broken into Wolves’ first team after starring for their academy sides, earning promotion from the under-18s to Premier League level in 2024-26.
Typically operating as a central attacking midfielder or second striker, he has also been used wide and up front, reflecting a flexible profile across the forward line.
On the pitch he is a ball‑carrying attacker: right-footed, explosive over short distances and comfortable receiving between the lines before driving through central spaces.
Analysts highlight his high dribble volume and ability to break pressure, with comparisons to powerful wide runners like Adama Traoré, but with more of a playmaker’s shot selection and through-ball vision.
