LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Senegal forward Sadio Mane has become the latest player to leave Southampton for Liverpool, moving to Anfield for a reported fee of 34 million pounds ($45 million).
Liverpool announced the signing of Mane on Tuesday on what the club said was a "long-term contract," without disclosing financial details. He has scored 25 goals in 75 games in two seasons with Southampton, and has played 36 times for Senegal.
Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Dejan Lovren and Nathaniel Clyne have all moved to Liverpool from Southampton in the last two years.
Mane said "I am very happy to sign for one of the biggest clubs in Europe." Liverpool didn't qualify to play in either the Champions League or the Europa League next season.
