Sadio Mane has decided to depart from Liverpool in the upcoming summer after six massive seasons at Anfield, as per the reports out of the UK a day when Real Madrid defeated the Reds in the UEFA Champions League final.  

30 years old Sadio Mane, apparently told his Liverpool teammates that he will leave the club in the upcoming summer as just one year is left according to his current contract. He will be announcing his final decision to the club sooner. The question is whether Sadio Mane had made the right decision at the end of the contract period?

If he really moves somewhere else in the upcoming summer, Sadio Mane will end his Liverpool career with 192 goals in 454 games (all competitions), including 144 in 348 in the Premier League. There is not a bad return on an initial investment of $ 43 million.

Mohamed Salah also declared this week that he even has just one year left according to his current contract but he will be a part of Liverpool in the next season too. As per the public knowledge, there are no negotiations made over the next deal between both sides.

It was mostly expected that one of the Reds' superstars would leave Anfield in the upcoming summer, with the contract ending and the entrance of first Diogo Jota last season and then Luis Diaz this season. Many teams all around the world can't even imagine losing such a player as Sadio Mane.

Who can sign Sadio Mane from Liverpool?

There are many clubs considering Sadio Mane as he has experience of representing at a world-class level for almost four years now.

Bayern Munich will be among the suitors, according to the athletic. Some of the reports out of Germany inform that Sadio Mane is moving to the Allianz Arena for only $32 million. Although Liverpool is likely to demand notably more than that.

Paris Saint-Germain could have been included Sadio Mane if they had not persuaded Kylian Mbappe to sign the next three-year contract last week.

Maybe putting Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Sadio Mane together will end up in a "there’s just a ball" situation in which no one - not Mauricio Pochettino - wants to navigate.

Despite already being the champions of Europe, Real Madrid will put their hats in the ring with a Kylian Mbappe-sized hole to fill the temporary future of the club.

Not a bad consolation prize, even if they are replacing a generational talent just entering their early years for a further generational talent below his own peak.
