Sadio Mane told Jurgen Klopp he wanted to leave Liverpool "one year ago"... despite only just completing a move to Bayern Munich.
The Senegal international, 30, joined Bayern in a £35million deal last month. He was one of Liverpool's most prolific forwards, scoring 120 goals in six seasons to help Jurgen Klopp's side win six trophies - including the Premier League and Champions League.
Mane had just one year left on his Liverpool contract before joining Bayern in a bargain deal. The former Southampton star is regarded as one of the best players on the planet, becoming the African Footballer of the Year for a second time on Thursday evening.
