Salif Diao has blamed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for Sadio Mane’s decision to leave Anfield this summer.
The forward, whose contract was due to expire next summer, decided to call time on his Reds career after last season’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. Pushing for a move to Bayern Munich, the Senegal international ended up joining the Bundesliga giants in a deal worth up to £35m.
Having joined Liverpool in 2016, Mane scored 120 goals from 269 appearances for the Reds as he helped Klopp’ s side win every major honour on offer. However, his compatriot Diao has hinted at a breakdown in relations with his manager as the reason behind the Senegal international’s decision to seek pastures.
