Sadio Mane has broken his silence over his Liverpool future - and has indicated he wants to leave the Reds this summer.
Mane is approaching the final 12 months of his contract with Anfield officials understood to be keen to sit down with the player's agent, Bjorn Bezemer, to discuss a new deal.
However, it was suggested earlier his week the 30-year-old had informed Liverpool of his desire to leave amid strong speculation of a possible €30million move to German champions Bayern Munich. The Reds had not heard from the player at the time and would in any case demand a much higher fee for his services.
