Former Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko expects Sadio Mane to join Real Madrid.

Former Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko has tipped Sadio Mane to join Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The 27-year-old's current deal with Jurgen Klopp's side expires in 2023, but it has recently been claimed that Mane is a target for Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane.

The Senegal international is part of a formidable front three alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah at Anfield, but Sissoko thinks that the winger will make the switch to the Bernabeu.

Speaking to EuropaCalcio, Sissoko said: "I do not know if Salah will stay at Liverpool. If he left, it could also be a good thing for Liverpool - they are a clever club and they would know how to replace him.

"I think Mane is likelier to, because he has the characteristics that Zidane wants - he really rates him. I think Mane will go to Real Madrid."

Since arriving from Southampton in 2016, Mane has gone on to register 77 goals in 161 appearances for the Reds across all competitions.

The winger shared the 2018-19 Premier League golden boot with Salah and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and has netted 14 times in the league this season.
