Liverpool might face an even bigger blow than Sadio Mane exit
Liverpool have established themselves as one of the very best teams in Europe under Jurgen Klopp’s watch. From struggling to qualify for the Champions League, the German quickly transformed the Reds into a side that would be champions of England, Europe and the world, reaching European Cup final after European Cup final and establishing themselves as Man City’s main title-rivals.
Seven years on from the German’s arrival at Anfield and Sadio Mane ’s exit to Bayern Munich has seemingly signalled the end of his first great Liverpool side. With the Reds squad that has delivered success in recent years ageing, such a day was always coming and, having signed a contract extension until 2026, Klopp is now focussed on building his side’s next generation.
As a result, while the likes of Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah will follow Mane out of the exit door sooner rather than later, Liverpool are in safe hands going forward. Despite entering a transitional period, they are well-placed to continue recent success with the signings of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho showing this soft launch is taking place in plain sight.

Roberto Firmino Liverpool 'leaving date' named by Sir Kenny Dalglish signing
Roberto Firmino has been tipped to leave Liverpool next season.
The break-up of Liverpool's famous front three has started this summer with Sadio Mane joining Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old has left Anfield after six years on Merseyside to link up with the Bundesliga giants in a £35m deal.
Before Mane completed his move to Bayern, his contract at Liverpool was originally scheduled to run out next summer. It’s the same for Firmino, who is now into the final year of his deal with the club.
And former Reds midfielder Stewart Downing, who was signed by Sir Kenny Dalglish for £20m in 2011, believes the forthcoming campaign could be the Brazilian's last at Anfield.
