Liverpool are ready to break the bank to sign Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele if Sadio Mane leaves the club this summer, according to a report.

Liverpool are reportedly planning a sensational swoop for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele if Sadio Mane leaves the club this summer.

The Anfield futures of both Mane and Mohamed Salah are shrouded in uncertainty, with the latter refusing to rule out a move to Spain, while Mane has also been tipped to complete a move to Real Madrid.

Mane's contract at Liverpool does not expire until 2023, and should the Senegal international voice a desire to leave, Liverpool are supposedly willing to grant him his wish for the right price.

Jurgen Klopp would also expect to have a top-class replacement lined up ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, and according to Fichajes, Liverpool are prepared to break the bank in order to secure Dembele's signature.

The former Borussia Dortmund man has affirmed that talks are yet to begin over a contract renewal - with his current deal due to run out at the end of next season - and the cash-strapped Catalans may entertain offers given their volatile financial situation.

Dembele has failed to hit the ground running at Barcelona since his nine-figure move in 2017, but he boasts a respectable 10 goals and four assists from 37 games across all competitions this term.
