Liverpool could unleash Academy star after double transfer

In August 2022, when the new Premier League season gets underway, Liverpool will travel to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham with a new-look front three. All being well, Darwin Nunez will line up with Mohamed Salah to his right and Luis Diaz to his left as the Reds enter a new era.

That's because Sadio Mane's six-year affiliation with the club ended on Wednesday afternoon as he sealed a move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. However, the Senegal international won't be the only forward from the Reds' frontline departing Anfield this summer, as both Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino will end their stays on Merseyside.

While Mane's trophy-laden time at the club will be remembered for consistent moments of undoubted brilliance, Origi and Minamino will leave with a slimmer portfolio of goals, performances and highlights having found it hard to break into Liverpool's starting XI for a prolonged period of time during their stints at the club.
