It remains to be seen whether Sadio Mane will still wear the Liverpool shirt after the summer break. According to GOAL the winger dreams of finishing his active career in LaLiga, with Barcelona and Real Madrid as his favorite destinations in Spain. Mané, who is tied up with Liverpool until mid-2023, is said to have already informed his agent about his Spanish dream.
Mané has dreamed of playing in LaLiga since childhood. The 29-year-old winger was already active in France, Austria and therefore England, but Spain is still missing on his list. Rumors about a move to Real have surfaced in various foreign media before, then coach Zinedine Zidane tried it in 2017 and 2019, but a final agreement did not get off the ground in both cases. Some of the big names of Barcelona also saw his arrival. However, the financial resources were lacking at the Camp Nou. Given the duration of his current contract at Anfield, a departure this summer is not inconceivable, there the Reds don’t seem to want to let him walk out the door for free in over a year.
According to GOAL Mané, who shot Senegal to the overall victory at the Africa Cup on Sunday, wants to become the best African player ever in the last years of his career. The Liverpool forward wants to be named alongside living legends such as Samuel Eto’o, George Weah and Didier Drogba. Mané also believes that he has already made history at Liverpool by conquering the Champions League (2019) and the Premier League (2020).
With the interim signing of Luis Diaz from FC Porto, Liverpool seems to have already jumped in on a possible departure of Mane this summer. The eighty-time international of Senegal was acquired by Liverpool from Southampton in mid-2016 for more than forty million euros. Nearly six years later, the veteran striker’s tally stands at 107 goals and 44 assists in 244 appearances in all competitions.
