LIVERPOOL are reportedly ready to hand Sadio Mane a new contract.
The Liverpool Echo claims Jurgen Klopp is desperate to tie the winger down to a new deal.
Mane, 25, currently has an Anfield contract running until 2021.
But his impressive form this season could see the Senegal international commit his future for many more years.
And Mane would also see a huge increase on his current wages to establish him as one of Liverpool’s top earners.
The former Southampton star has been overshadowed by Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino this term.

But there are few better in the Premier League when Mane’s on top form, and Klopp is keen to ensure there are no surprise bids for his signature this summer.
Meanwhile, Mane believes he is nearly back to his best form, and is fully focused on helping Liverpool land some silverware.
