Having joined from Southampton in the summer of 2016, Mane has made 150 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 73 times.

Alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool possesses one of the best attacking trios in world football.

The 27-year-old is happy at Liverpool and was rewarded for his performances with a new contract lasting until 2023. All this puts Liverpool in an extremely strong position if any negotiations are to occur.

Mane provided the main attacking threat for Liverpool against Real Madrid in the Champions League Final in 2018, He brought Liverpool level only for Madrid to win the tie later on.

Mane is a key player for Liverpool and a fan favorite. With the Reds establishing themselves as a dominant force in domestic and international football once again, Mane will be better served staying put.
