Liverpool forward Sadio Mane wants to leave Anfield this summer with the decision coming in the wake of their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. But planning for his replacement has already begun with the Reds targeting a player previously offered to Arsenal.
Mane has been a pivotal part of Liverpool's success under Jurgen Klopp, scoring 23 goals this season and a total of 120 over the course of his six years on Merseyside. But a new challenge is now desired and Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race to snap up the 30-year-old.
Ahead of the final in Paris, Jurgen Klopp was asked about reports he could lose one of his star men in the summer after Mane refused to say either way whether he would stay or go this summer. The manager would not be drawn on speculation, however.
