There “will be concerns” at the Liverpool Reds over striker Sadio Mane’s future, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The Senegalese is one of several top stars approaching the final 12 months of their current deals at Anfield.
Liverpool have had another outstanding season under Jürgen Klopp. The team have already won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup and the Champions League remains a possibility. However, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané could leave after this meeting. Their contracts end in 2023.
Liverpool’s plans for Sadio Mané are unclear at the moment. According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich have identified the Senegal international as their ‘first’ transfer target ahead of next season. In this sense, O’Rourke points out that the arrival of Luis Diaz does not in any way guarantee a better return than what Sadio Mané has been able to give so far. doesn’t think his success would automatically mean the prospect of Mane leaving wouldn’t be a ‘massive loss’.
“I won’t say it’s not a big loss. Obviously the Reds don’t want to lose their best players, but Sadio Mane is entering the final year of his contract at Liverpool and is still reportedly not ready to sign a new deal. So there will be concerns from the Liverpool side about what’s going on there with Sadio Mané,” he told GiveMeSport.
Sadio Manéwho is valued at £72million by Transfermarkt, has established himself as one of the best players in the world since joining the Reds from Southampton in July 2016.
