As Darwin Nunez arrives through the Anfield entrance the exit of one of Liverpool's modern greats has never been so close.
Liverpool clinched a deal worth up to £85m for Nunez from Benfica, the 22-year-old striker set to be the next phase of the club's plan to cement themselves at the very highest echelon of world football. But for Sadio Mane, his Liverpool journey is close to ending, the Senegalese striker edging closer to a potential £40m deal to Bayern Munich.
Mane has been a revelation for Liverpool ever since he joined the club from Southampton in 2016 for what proved to be a snip at £34m. In all competitions he netted 120 Liverpool goals in 269 appearances, with his part in the dynamism of the front three that also included Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino key to its success.
