Sadio Mane insists Liverpool is a club he 'respects a lot' after he 'jokingly' made comments about what the people of Senegal want him to do about his future on Merseyside. Mane scored a hat-trick in Senegal's 3-1 win over Benin yesterday to become his country's all-time leading scorer.
The Liverpool number 10's future was in doubt before the Champions League final loss to Real Madrid, as he said all would be revealed after the match. Although he is yet to directly tell the club of his wish, it is believed Mane wants to embark on a new challenge elsewhere.
Unsurprisingly, rumours suggest clubs all over Europe are circling, but Bayern Munich are said to be of interest to Mane if he was to leave Anfield in the summer transfer window.
