Liverpool duo Mane and Salah tipped to break African transfer record by Nigeria legend Rufai

Former Nigeria goalkeeper Peter Rufai has picked Liverpool forwards Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah as the next players in the running for a potential African record transfer.

Mane and Salah moved to Anfield for a then African record fee, with the Senegalese star joining from Southampton in 2016 in a deal worth £35 million before his Egyptian teammate completed a £36.9 million move the following year, which could rise up to £43.9 million due to add-ons.

Both players play prominent roles at Liverpool and they have 30 league goals between them in this campaign.
