Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has urged his old club to go out and sign Jarrod Bowen or Bukayo Saka, if Sadio Mane does indeed leave Anfield this summer.
The Senegal international had teased prior to Saturday night’s Champions League final that he would offer an update on his future, with just 12 months remaining on his contract. “Come back to me after Saturday and I’ll give you the best answer you want to hear, for sure. It’s special,” Mane told reporters.
And despite previous reports suggesting he could look to manufacture an exit, his calm and relaxed demeanour didn’t indicate he was a player on the verge of leaving. But just hours after their European campaign came to an end with a 1-0 defeat by Real Madrid, news started to surface that he will be looking to move on.
