Liverpool have completed the signing of winger Sadio Mane from Southampton on a five-year contract. The 24-year-old Mane becomes Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's fourth new
signing for the 2016/17 season, following deals for midfielder Marko
Grujic, centre-back Joel Matip and goalkeeper Loris Karius.
Reports indicate that The Reds have parted with £34m up front, with £2m more to be paid in performance-related add-ons, and the player will be on their books until the summer of 2021.
Mane told Liverpool's website: "Today is a big day and I am very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It's a club that has won a lot of trophies and has a big history.
"Now I am looking forward to meeting all the staff and my team-mates and starting the season."
The fee makes Mane the club's second most expensive signing, behind Andy Carroll.
The Senegal international has scored 21 Premier League goals in 67 games since signing for Southampton for £11.8m from Red Bull Salzburg two years ago.
The forward has 36 caps for Senegal and has scored 10 goals for his country.
