Liverpool ‘considering a large bid’ for Tottenham Hotspur superstar ahead of Sadio Mane exit

According to reports, with Mane expected to inform the club of his wish to go, Liverpool would not allow him to depart until a successor has been found.

That is not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but one that has been in the works for months as Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino enter the final year of their contracts.

According to Alasdair Gold of football.london, a reputable Tottenham source, the Reds were working on a “large bid” for Son.

They are now “not expected to pursue their Son interest any further” because it was conditional on “the north London club failing to qualify for the Champions League next season.”

“There had been discussions about testing Tottenham‘s financial resolve with a big-money move,” Gold explains.

Spurs’ owners, though, have announced a £150 million investment ahead of the summer window in the event that the club finishes fourth and thus qualifies for the Champions League.

After scoring 23 goals this season, Son shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Salah, and Tottenham are practically building their pre-season around him, including a costly tour to South Korea.

Whether or not a deal was made, the possibility of a move for the 29-year-old is intriguing.

It’s no surprise that Liverpool fans adore Son, with Jurgen Klopp previously praising the forward and speculation around his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Tottenham hotspur.
