Sadio Mane might have called time on his Liverpool career after six seasons this summer, but he could have left Anfield in 2021 had Lionel Messi got his way.
Mane completed his move to Bayern Munich last week in a deal that could be worth up to £35m after deciding to seek pastures new having won every major honour on offer to him with the Reds. However, the Bavarians weren’t the only side interested in the 30-year-old.
Paris Saint-Germain also held talks with the forward, according to his advisor, Bacary Cisse, who says that the uncertainty over the future of the club's then sporting director Leonardo put paid to any possibility of a switch.
