Wolves face a tough summer ahead as relegation looms, making it difficult to retain the 18-year-old England youth international. Reports indicate Liverpool have conducted preliminary talks with representatives and hold a significant advantage over rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.
Although Wolves value Mane at £50m, the club is reportedly resigned to losing him. The Reds are keen on the youngster, but Wolves' valuation could test Liverpool's negotiating stance before a formal bid is made.
