Keita Balde, Sadio Mane's Senegal teammate, spoke about the possibility of the striker ending up at the Santiago Bernabeu. "I don't think he wants to be at Liverpool all his life," the Monaco player admitted. Balde did not rule out himself going to Real Madrid either.

Keita Balde gave an interview to 'AS' which is being talked about a lot. As well as speaking about himself, he also did about Sadio Mane, his Senegal teammate. With Real Madrid after the striker, the Monaco attacker raised the possibility of Real Madrid signing the Liverpool man.

"Real Madrid? It depends on many things. I don't know what his decision is. In one or two years he may want to change and I don't think he wants to be here all his life. He's a clever boy and he knows what suits him best and what he has to do. But in Madrid they are talking about many players," Keita Balde commented.

That said, in his opinion, only a mega offer could get him to leave Anfield: "I know that he is very well there. The coach loves him a lot. Something very attractive has to come along for him to leave Liverpool. He has given a lot for Liverpool and Liverpool have for him. A big club will have to come and promise him a lot for him to think about it. There are few clubs like Liverpool.·

And despite Keita Balde saying he would come back to Barca, especially if Pique were the president, he did not close the door on a potental move to the Bernabeu either. "It depends on the circumstances. I wouldn't say no right now. I would be lying to you. I would think about it and perhaps later on say no, but I wouldn 't say no straight away. Possibly," he concluded.
