'I’d be making the call' - Stan Collymore urges Liverpool to resign Sadio Mane from Bayern Munich

Liverpool have been urged by Stan Collymore to attempt to resign Sadio Mane after doubts emerge over his future at Bayern Munich.

Mane's time in Bavaria could be brief after being suspended for hitting Leroy Sane in the changing room following their 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League.

The Senegal international is yet to hit the heights of his Liverpool form at the Allianz Arena and Thomas Tuchel could opt to part ways with Mane in the summer.

Liverpool are set to lose Roberto Firmino in the summer after the 31-year-old chose to not sign a contract extension at Anfield and Collymore believes the Reds should bring Mane back to Anfield.

“I’d also have a nibble at Mane, too – after events in the Bayern Munich dressing room this past week – and see if Jurgen Klopp could go some way towards getting the show back on the road like that,” he told the Sunday People.

“Darwin Nunez is ready to take the role of Bobby Firmino and, with Mane and Salah either side of him plus Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota as very, very good back-up, Liverpool would only be a right-back and central defender short of a brilliant side.

“Mane still has plenty to offer and if there’s a cut-price deal to be done after he thumped Leroy Sane, then I’d be making the call.”
