There's no getting away from it, Sadio Mane's desire to leave Liverpool is a disappointment.
The 30-year-old has been nothing short of outstanding for the Reds over the past six seasons and is without question one of Jurgen Klopp's best signings throughout his Merseyside managerial reign. In that time he was won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup, not to mention achieving AFCON glory with Senegal as well.
So the question is why on earth would he want to leave? The official answer is likely to be to try a new adventure having won everything already with the Reds. The reality may also include receiving a significant pay rise and stepping out of the shadow of Mohamed Salah. Fair enough.
