Southampton striker Sadio Mane will have a medical at Liverpool on Monday after the clubs agreed a transfer fee of £34m, BBC Radio Solent understands.
The fee could rise to £36m, making the deal one of Liverpool’s most expensive, rivaling £32.5m for Christian Benteke and £35m for Andy Carroll.
Manager Jurgen Klopp wants to boost his attacking options and made Mane a prime transfer target this summer.
It had been thought the Saints wanted closer to £40m for the Senegalese. The deal is expected to be confirmed today.
