Liverpool Set to Tie Star Player Down to 'Improved New Contract' After Stellar 2017/18 Season

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane appears set to sign a new and improved contract at Anfield, with the club described as 'confident' that the deal will be finalised in the 'coming weeks'.

Mane has been in talks with Liverpool since at least February when manager Jurgen Klopp admitted that wanting to keep the Senegalese star at the club was 'not a secret'.

Given that fellow forwards Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have each recently signed new long-term deals until 2023, handing Mane fresh terms is the next logical step.

The former Southampton star remains under contract until 2021.
