Mane has been receiving interest from Bayern Munich, but it will be interesting to see which clubs come forward now it’s been announced that he will leave the club. Despite now being in his early thirties, the Senegalese international is showing no signs of slowing down and has enjoyed an excellent season at Liverpool.
Mane has scored 16 league goals this season and has managed ten or more in every single season he’s played in the Premier League, including his time at Southampton.
With Mohamed Salah’s contract set to expire next summer, it will be interesting to see if Mane’s decision has any effect on Salah’s contract decision.
Both players are set to leave on free transfers next summer unless Liverpool decide to cash in to avoid this situation.
