| Jurgen Klopp embracing Sadio Mane. |
Mane has
finalised his transfer to Bayern Munich, prior to the 2022–23 season. Mane's Liverpool contract was set to end in 2023.
According to
reports, Liverpool might get a "possible package" for Mane that is
worth up to €41 million.
During his time
at Anfield, the forward exceeded expectations. He contributed to the Reds'
victories in the FA Cup, Champions League, Premier League, and Carabao Cup.
Mane also
performed brilliantly as his Senegal side won the 2021 African Cup of Nations. Klopp
has previously referred to the competition as a “little tournament”.
On Mane's
decision to leave Liverpool, Sinclair has said. He believes there are three
causes behind his transfer to Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich:
“This Sadio Mane
transfer is obviously universally accepted now he’s left Liverpool Football
Club as a club legend,” Sinclair told talkSPORT.
“But I keep on
hearing some fans and ex-players saying ‘I don’t know why he’s left?’ Let me
tell you why he’s left.
“One, I don’t
think he’s ever been lauded and appreciated at the football club like Virgil
van Dijk or Mo Salah. Two, the fact that Liverpool let his contract go down to
the last year kind of suggests that that’s how they felt about him.”
Sinclair added:
“Three, I think the main thing is that Jurgen Klopp lost him when he came out
and belittled the AFCON tournament which his manager (for Senegal) Aliou Cisse
had to come out and defend the AFCON and said ‘you were coming second until our
African players started playing for you’.
“Mane is a man of
principles, you’ve seen him buy hospitals, buy schools and all the rest of it
in his home town of Senegal and it’s for these reasons I feel Sadio Mane’s
thought, ‘you know what, I’m going, I’m leaving the club’. He’s had a good
time, he’s been a club legend but I don’t think he could play on after that.”
