If the Anfield club agree a straight cash fee with Saints for £30million-rated winger Mane, 24, Ibe would be a major loser.

So they are willing to put him in the deal for around £10m.

The former Wycombe wide man has clocked up a lot of games since coming to Liverpool and in loan spells at Birmingham and Derby.
