But with Rob Edwards’ side heading for relegation – with just one win in 26 league games this season and a low of nine points – Mane’s situation is expected to be re-examined in the summer.
Wolves are likely to demand a significant fee for their number 36, secured by his long-term contract, but their position will be weakened if they slip to the Championship.
If Mane were to join Liverpool, which is certainly not guaranteed, he would follow Andy Robertson, Gini Wijnaldum, Xherdan Shaqiri and Fabio Carvalho in signing after relegation from their previous clubs.
Trey Nyoni also left Leicester after their relegation to the Championship, but he joined Merseyside as a youth player.
Why Liverpool could target Mateus Mane this summer
Liverpool’s interest in Mane follows a trend of targeting the best emerging talent from across Europe, which has led to the club completing a £60m deal for Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, 20, before the summer.
RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, 19, is another target and interest in both Diomande and Mane comes amid an ongoing revamp of Arne Slot’s attacking options.
Following the big signings of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike last summer, the Reds are expected to strengthen further afield, with Federico Chiesa likely to leave and Mohamed Salah entering the final year of his contract.
Mane’s flexibility could make him an ideal replacement for Chiesa, even if he offers significantly less experience and still has a lot to prove in the Premier League and beyond.
