Sadio Mane says he would like to play with Kylian Mbappe for Liverpool amid transfer rumours linking the Paris Saint-Germain superstar with a move to Anfield.
Mbappe's current contract with PSG is set to expire in the summer and his future remains undecided with clubs across Europe vying for his signature.
Real Madrid failed in a reported £146m move last year as the Ligue 1 outfit turned down the approach despite the risk of losing the France international for nothing this year.

Spanish outlet SPORT claimed last month that Mbappe is 'yet to close the door' on PSG but that Liverpool also remain in the conversation as the player is 'not convinced' with the project at the Bernabeu.
The 23-year-old's wage demands would likely prove to be a sticking point in any potential deal with Liverpool.
But that hasn't stopped Mane from hoping Mbappe could join him at the Reds.
“I would like to play with him, of course,” Mane told L'Equipe.
“It would be an exceptional attack. But now he is the one who has to come to Liverpool. I am sure he would like it.”
Liverpool remain locked in contract negotiations themselves with Mohamed Salah yet to agree terms on a new deal.
And the Egyptian's agent Ramy Abbas Issa seemingly responded to Reds boss Jurgen Klopp's recent comments about the situation on Friday.
Salah's current contract expires in the summer of 2023 and clubs across the continent will be closely monitoring developments.
Reports from Spain in recent months have already suggested Real Madrid will turn their attention to landing Salah should they miss out on Mbappe.
