Sadio Mané casts a huge blur on his future

After a very intense 2021-2022 season, with a second place in the Premier League, a Champions League final lost to Real Madrid (0-1) but above all two titles in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, Liverpool certainly hopes to have a little rest. This will obviously be the case on the sporting level since the exercise is over, but there may be work behind the scenes for the summer transfer window. If Mohamed Salah, at the end of his contract in June 2023, has still not extended but announced that he will be there next seasonthe future of Sadio Mané is more than uncertain.

With him also still one year of contract with the Reds, the Senegalese international (86 selections, 28 goals) arouses enormous greed. A battle is indeed underway between Bayern Munich, Real Madrid but also Paris Saint Germain to secure the services of the 30-year-old player who has again been important with Liverpool this season (23 goals, 5 assists in 51 matches in all competitions). The Bavarian club also seems to have a head start since a meeting took place with the agent of the principal concerned but everything is still possible. And even more after the latest statements from Sadio Mané.

“Don’t be in a hurry”

Present with the Indomitable Lions for the qualifications of the African Cup of Nations, the Liverpool winger cast even more vagueness on his future in a press conference, before this Saturday’s match against Benin (9 p.m.) : “Like everyone else, I am on social networks and I see the comments. Aren’t there between 60 and 70% of Senegalese who want me to leave Liverpool? I will do what they want. We will see soon! Don’t be in a hurry because we will see this together!” Words that quickly stirred the canvas.

One thing is certain: Sadio Mané will not leave for free this summer. The price of the Senegalese has been set at 35 million euros by the leaders of the Mersey club, who are now waiting for the right offer to crack. Sadio Mané now seems closer and closer to the exit with his latest statements. And after his training at FC Metz, his time at RB Salzburg and his years in England at Southampton and Liverpool, the native of Sedhiou could discover a new championship and a new culture this summer.
