Liverpool star and African Cup of Nations winner – Sadio Mané is looking set to depart Anfield this summer after many memorable years with the club.

Mané believes he is now ready for a new challenge with a new club, which the Liverpool board will soon affirm.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Senegal international is completely respectful of the club, Jurgen Klopp, and the Reds fans, as he didn’t want negotiations to progress in the final days of Champions League.

In the meantime, FC Bayern is a strong contender because Mané is their top priority, but the race is still open and nothing has been finalized.

Mané joined the Premier League club for a reported fee of £34 million in 2016.

In 2018 and 2019, he helped the team reach back-to-back UEFA Champions League Finals, the latter of which they won.

He also won the Premier League Golden Boot after finishing as the league’s joint leading scorer in the 2018–19 season.

Sadio Mané then helped Liverpool win the Premier League for the first time in 30 years in the 2019–20 season.

The 30-year-old was fourth in the 2019 Ballon d’Or voting, and he was fifth in the Best FIFA Men’s Player voting in 2019 and fourth in 2020 as well.
