“It’s a great moment. It does not make sense to try to pretend otherwise. “One of the best Liverpool players of all time is leaving and we have to acknowledge how important that is,” Klopp was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. Since coming from Southampton in the summer of 2016, Mane has scored 120 goals for Liverpool in a total of 269 appearances in all competitions, while also adding a total of 48 assists. He was one of the driving forces behind Liverpool’s almost quadruple 2021/22 season, having scored 16 goals in the Premier League and 5 in the Champions League. An easily beloved fan in Merseyside, Mane left Liverpool with great respect and has personally said that he will always remain a Liverpool fan despite the fact that he left to go abroad. While most of the Liverpool fans will be upset and saddened to see him leave, there is no bad blood the way he leaves. “He leaves with our gratitude and love. He leaves with his guaranteed status among the adults. And, yes, he leaves at a time when he is one of the best players in world football. But we should not dwell on what we are losing now, instead of celebrating what we were privileged to have. The goals he scored, the trophies he won. a legend, for sure, but also a modern symbol of Liverpool “, Klopp stressed.

When he was bought from Southampton, no one expected how effective a player he would be for Liverpool, as Klopp recalled. “Ever since he first walked in the door, he has made us better. If someone told us at that time what he would contribute and achieve for this club, I’m not sure it would be possible to understand at that time. Not of its scale at least. Sadio did everything possible. “Being so good over such a long period of time and constantly improving season after season – no matter how high he set his bar on the previous one – is an example to any player anywhere on the planet that professionalism and dedication lead to reward,” he said. Klopp. explained. Finally, Klopp wished Mane all the best, diplomatically denying him the opportunity to take a look at his former Bundesliga rivals in Bayern Munich since he was coach of Borussia Dortmund. “I fully respect his decision and I am sure that our supporters do the same. If you love LFC, you must love Sadio – non-negotiable. It is possible to do that while accepting that our defeat is a Bayern win. We only wish him success in every match he plays, unless of course he is against us. “His star will continue to rise, I have no doubt,” he said.
