Reigning African soccer king, Sadio Mane of Senegal has announced his departure from Liverpool.
The Senegalese forward made a definitive decision to quit Anfield this summer and explained his decision to his team-mates in the Stade de France dressing room after the club’s loss to Real Madrid.
Vinicius Junior scored the only goal of the game, two minutes before the hour mark, to seal the Spanish giant’s 14 th Champions League title and ensure that an incredible season for the Reds ended with disappointment.
It came less than a week after Jurgen Klopp’s side narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.
Mane’s decision to quit is a huge setback for Liverpool where he has spent six seasons.
The Reds are now set to suffer another setback with the news that Senegalese forward Mane is set to quit Anfield after six seasons at the club. The 30-year-olid is likely to be in high demand after a world class spell on Merseyside, where he netted 120 goals for the club.
Bayern Munich are desperate to sign the Liverpool forward this summer as the 30-year-old only has 12 months left on his current contract.
Reds forward Mane has insisted that he will not make any announcement on his future until after the Champions League final and a public announcement is now thought to be imminent.
Multiple reports, led by Diario AS, highlights how Mane informed his Liverpool teammates of his intention of moving on from the club this summer in the dressing room in the Stade de France following on from the Champions League final loss.
The Senegalese forward was part of a Reds attack that was blunted by Real Madrid ’s sturdy defence and an outstanding individual performance from opposition goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The former Chelsea shot-stopper made an outstanding save from Mane in the first half, getting his fingertips onto a powerful effort that appeared to be destined for the bottom corner of the net and tipped it onto the post.
