Stewart Downing tells Liverpool they have 'ideal' Sadio Mane replacement

Stewart Downing believes Liverpool have found the 'ideal signing' to replace Sadio Mane after a deal for Darwin Nunez was agreed.

The Reds have reached an agreement worth €75million (£64.1 million) with a further €25 million (£21.4 million) in potential add-ons for Nunez. The 22-year-old striker is set to sign a six-year contract and is expected to undergo a medical at some stage today (Monday).

His arrival is expected to spell the end of Mane's time at Anfield - with Bayern Munich expected to return to the Reds with a third offer this week having seen their opening two bids turned down. The Senegalese forward will be a big miss, although manager Jurgen Klopp will be pleased with the replacement he has lined up.
