It remains to be seen as to who the real winner of Sadio Mane's summer departure will be.
The Senegalese star left Liverpool to join Bayern Munich in a package worth £35million, having won every trophy available to him in England as well as on the European stage. For Mane, the timing felt right for a new challenge away from the club.
Although supporters were sad to see the 30-year-old leave Anfield after becoming such an influential figure during his six-year spell, Mane's departure was certainly amicable and did not end on the same sour note as others who have pursued careers away from Merseyside in recent years.
