Sadio Mané (30 years old) will not continue at Liverpool. As Diario AS reported, the Champions League final was the striker’s last game with the Reds, to whom he said goodbye after the game: “I want to thank the fans for everything and the coach too. I wish this team everything the best of the world”.
The Senegalese player ends his contract in 2023 but could leave this summer in exchange for financial compensation. This was published by the German newspaper BILD, which advanced Bayern Munich’s interest in the Liverpool striker, who is valued at 30 million euros, although Liverpool would ask for more.
But, whatever happens, Mané will leave Liverpool, as this newspaper has learned. It will be the end of a six-year period in which the player, who became one of the leaders of Jürgen Klopp’s locker room, has won a Champions League and a Premier League, in addition to the recent FA Cup.
His future arrival at Bayern could precipitate the departure of Robert Lewandowski, with a foot and a half in Barcelona. However, the future of the Polish center forward did not directly affect Mané, who can also play on the left wing, as he did at Liverpool until the arrival of Luis Díaz last winter.
On the Ballon d’Or podium
Despite losing in the final against Real Madrid and before Thibaut Courtois, who took a prodigious hand to avoid his goal, Mané did not lose his place in the Ballon d’Or and will be on the podium, as GOAL announced. However, as the same information points out, he will be behind Benzema, the great favorite.
