Sadio Mane is rumored to be Real Madrid’s top target this summer and Liverpool have been linked with a move for Timo Werner.
Club legend Steve Nicol believes that they need to acquire a suitable replacement before letting anyone go.
With the kind of form Liverpool’s front three have been showing this season, it is no surprise that the likes of Real Madrid are sniffing around.
Speaking to ESPN FC, the former Reds and Scotland defender sees Werner as a suitable repalcement.
However, when asked about cashing in on Mane, Nicol is fine with the idea, but only if a deal for reaplcement is done first.
He wouldn’t take anyone’s word for a player apparently wanting to come to Anfield.
He said:
“That’s only any good if you bring in Timo Werner.”
“Unfortunately there aren’t many [players like Werner] around.”
“What if Werner wants to go elsewhere?”
“The way it’s being talked about is if it’s done, Timo Werner says he wants to go, so it’s done.”
“Guess what, there was a guy called Kylian Mbappe who told everyone he wanted to go to Real Madrid, he ended up at PSG.”
