Real Madrid will only table an offer for Sadio Mane if the Liverpool forward makes the first move, according to a report.

Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is said to be a huge admirer of Mane, who has starred for the Reds this season with 20 goals in 40 appearances.

Madrid have been tipped to make a move for Mane as part of their big summer rebuild, but El Confidencial claims that the Senegal international must instigate the transfer.

The report indicates that the Spanish giants are not actively looking to pursue a deal, as has been the case with their drawn out pursuit for Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

Should Madrid miss out on Hazard, they may apparently focus their attention on landing Mane.
