Sadio Mane "ready" to be transferred to Real Madrid, insists on his former teammate

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane has been heavily involved in Real Madrid this week.

The leader in the form of the Reds would be on the list of candidates for the selection of the new boss of Los Blancos, Zinedine Zidane, while preparing a huge summer spending to reorganize his team.

And former Mane's teammate in Southampton, Oriol Romeu, has backed the Senegalese striker as a major success at Bernabeu if the move materializes.

The pair played 30 games together in the Saints' Premier League season before Mane moved to Anfield for around £ 35m.

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca, Romeu claimed that Mane was "ready" to pbad to the giants of La Liga.

"He's ready," said Romeu. "Madrid is a bit weak in attack and this is the type of player that does a lot of damage in open spaces.

"He could help them reverse their current situation." He brings variations in the attacks, but he's not a prolific scorer like Cristiano Ronaldo, who far exceeds expectations. " [other forwards].

"What I would like to emphasize above all else is its speed.

"He is a very electric and dizzying player with exceptional physical and technical qualities.

"In Liverpool, he has grown a lot and this season he's enjoying his best season in front of goal.

"I think that he has gained his composure and composure when finishing, that he marks or that he helps. That's the key."

Mane has scored 11 goals since the beginning of the year and is a crucial part of Liverpool's plans.

Regardless of the price, they would have no interest in separating from the 26 year old player. This means that Romeu may not have the chance to see his prediction of Real Madrid justify himself.

The Senegalese international signed a new agreement in November to keep it at Anfield until 2023, but it remains to be seen how Real Madrid's interest in him will manifest.
