Sadio Mane's desire to seek a new challenge away from Liverpool has taken many supporters by surprise.
After watching star players such as Fernando Torres, Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez all leaving Anfield in search of trophies, the Reds have since become the go-to destination for ambitious stars craving success at the top level. Keeping hold of key individuals has proven easier than ever with Jurgen Klopp at the helm, highlighted by last summer's transfer activity which saw the likes of Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold commit their futures to the club.
Mane may be bucking this trend should be depart in the weeks ahead, though Liverpool's position as a dream destination will remain intact. The Reds' two most recent signings reinforce this message, with both Fabio Carvalho and Luis Diaz rejecting interest from elsewhere in order to make Merseyside their new home.
