Sadio Mane has said that his former Liverpool teammates were “sad” after he penned a lengthy text message signalling his farewell.
The Senegalese was confirmed to be departing Anfield this summer in a switch to German giants Bayern Munich. The switch - worth £35m - sees the forward draw to a close a hugely successful six-year spell on Merseyside following a 2016 move from Premier League rivals Southampton.
In that time, Mane has become a hugely pivotal and popular member of the first-team. He scored 120 goals in 269 appearances for the Reds - those strikes being crucial to the side winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and much more under the stewardship of Jurgen Klopp.
