Lionel Messi vote proves FSG must hand Liverpool star new contract

Former Liverpool midfielder Salif Diao claims Liverpool must hand 'underrated' Sadio Mane a new contract after Lionel Messi previously voted for the striker in the Ballon d'Or.

Mane has featured over 250 times for the Reds since signing from Southampton in the summer of 2016, scoring 111 goals and registering 37 assists in the process. During this period, the 29-year-old has claimed five major honours including the Champions League and Premier League.

Also helping to deliver success on the international stage, the Senegalese star helped his home country to a first Africa Cup of Nations title earlier this year after getting the better of an Egypt side featuring none other than Mohamed Salah in the final of the competition.
