Sadio Mane and Bukayo Saka shared a moment on the Ballon d'Or red carpet as the Bayern Munich star whispered a message to the Arsenal man.
Mane moved to the German champions in the summer as he bought his Liverpool spell to an end following six years at Anfield. His contract was winding down and he opted for a new challenge, but the forward has spoken positively about his time on Merseyside.
There has been talk of Liverpool struggling without the Senegal star, whose goals were crucial to their success. As a result they could eventually seek to add a replacement on the left wing with Saka among those linked with the Reds as his contract situation remains unresolved.
