Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes £14.9m bid for 21-year-old Lyon defender Emanuel Mammana
Klopp is looking to make third addition this summer after Mohamed Salah and Dominic Solanke both move to Anfield
LIVERPOOL have tabled a £14.9million bid for Lyon defender Emanuel Mammana.
Kop Boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to make additions to his ranks this summer to mount a Premier League title challenge and make an impact in the Champions League.
claim Klopp is looking to make Mammana his third summer recruit following the signing of Mohamed Salah and young striker Dominic Solanake from Chelsea.
Liverpool missed out on England international Michael Keane who opted to move to the blue half of the city.
Mammana joined Lyon last summer on a five-year-contract from River Plate last summer and made 17 Ligue 1 appearances in his debut season and scored one goal.
The Argentine defender has been earmarked as potential replacement for Mamadou Sakho whose Anfield days look numbered.
Liverpool are set to offer the 21-year-old a five-year-deal worth around £54,000-a-week to move to Merseyside.
However the defender is not prepared to talk personal terms with the Premier League outfit until an agreement has been rubber stamped between the clubs.
