Sadio Mane joked about leaving Liverpool just months ago as ideal destination clear

It remains to be seen whether Sadio Mane has played his last game in a Liverpool shirt, but the Senegal forward was already joking about his future back in February.

The 30-year-old has reportedly told teammates he plans to leave Anfield this summer after six seasons with the Reds. Bayern Munich is considered the most likely destination for a player who scored 23 times in the 2021-22 season, with the German champions preparing for life without top scorer Robert Lewandowski.

It has been a big year for Mane, who led Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) glory and helped his country reach the Qatar World Cup before playing his part at club level as Liverpool won two domestic cups and reached the Champions League final. However, in the aftermath of that AFCON victory, he was already joking about his future plans.
