From the moment he signed in 2016 from Southampton, the Senegalese was one of Jurgen Klopp’s stars – perhaps, for longevity, the star – in the midst of a reconstruction at Anfield that will go down in history. Manet played more than his role. The 120 goals tell their own story. However, while the 30-year-old will undoubtedly leave a gap, Darwin Nunez has some great shoes to cover. But analyzing from a career perspective – is it actually a wise decision? Santo Mane has decided to leave Liverpool and go to Bayern Munich for a deal of 35 million pounds However, history has shown that star players have had problems impressing since they died under Jurgen Klopp. Be careful what you wish for, as the saying goes. While Mane has helped make Liverpool a European football jihadist once again, we must not forget what the Reds and Klopp have done for the Senegalese and his star.

Because over six years, Manet became one of the deadliest strikers in world football. His double at the Allianz Arena against Bayern’s new boss in the 2019 Champions League magic series was one such example amid a plethora of attention-grabbing moments and winning games. With his raw pace and work ethic, Manet fit in perfectly with Klopp’s football philosophy with high pressure and energy, forming a deadly trio on and off the ball alongside Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. And even with the arrivals of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz in recent years, Manet has been fairly consistent. But now he has put it all together for a new challenge in Germany, a European giant that has won its domestic title in 10 of the last 10 years. So the first question: is it really a challenge for a player of Manet’s height? But, most importantly, why risk a drop in reputation when growth was still possible? Because the evidence that players are leaving Klopp’s locker rooms is that he usually has not left. The first major departure of Klopp’s era was, without a doubt, the transfer of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona with £ 142 million in January 2018. In a season that would change the game for Liverpool, as he surprisingly reached the Champions League final, the Reds lost their Brazilian playmaker, six months after it became clear that his heart was in Catalonia. While the Reds used the cash to sign Virgil van Dijk, Coutinho struggled at the Nou Camp. He was initially injured for three weeks and eventually never reached the promised heights. Philippe Coutinho left Liverpool to join Barcelona in 2018, but never regained his stellar form After scoring against Manchester United in the Champions League in April 2019, Coutinho put his fingers in his ears in response to a series of criticism from fans. A few weeks later, Coutinho and Co closed a three-goal lead in the semi-finals against the former Liverpool team and, a few months later, he was transferred on loan to Bayern Munich. However, the real disgrace for Barça was to come, as Coutinho scored twice against his home team during the famous European quarter-final 8-2 in 2020, as the Brazilian won the Champions League, even as a player. Coutinho’s career in Barça has never fully recovered. Former Steven Gerrard team-mate took him on loan at Aston Villa before signing a permanent deal a few weeks ago, as he wants to get his career back on track with a World Cup in November. Coutinho believed he could reach stratospheric heights without Liverpool, but, with a Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League a year later, it turned out that Liverpool had reached the highest level without Coutinho.
One of the humblest nights of Coutinho with the Barça jersey came in the hands of Liverpool in 2019 The same year Coutinho’s departure, German international Emre Can also decided to explore options away from Merseyside. The strong midfielder – a favorite under Klopp – decided to let his contract end and made his last appearance for Liverpool as a substitute in the last defeat of the 2018 Champions League by Real Madrid. It was done at Juventus with a five-year contract, worth 5 million euros per season – data that could not be compared to Anfield. After playing 29 times for a Serie A-winning team, Can quickly fell out with Maurizio Sarri and was left out of the Champions League team a season later. A loan move, followed by a permanent deal, to Borussia Dortmund has somewhat revitalized his career, but it would be understandable if he did not wonder: would I be better at Liverpool?
Klopp’s favorite Emre Can – decided to let his contract end at Anfield Arrived at Juventus with a five-year contract of 5 million euros per season, but quickly fell into disfavor The third highest-profile example is more recent, with Gini Wijnaldum leaving last summer, also at the end of his contract. With Barcelona and PSG as suitors, the Dutchman chose the Qatari-backed French team in a summer that stunned world football and signed Lionel Messi. However, despite starting 22 of the 38 Ligue 1 games – in a comfortable title triumph – Wijnaldum did not perform and admitted that he was not “completely happy” with his role at the Parc des Princes. He was left out of the most recent Dutch team by Louis van Gaal and named the “Flop of the Year” of Ligue 1 by Get French Football News, after 100.00 votes and the opinion of GFFN experts, with Wijandlum winning by a “wide margin”. While there is still time for Wijnaldum to change his time in Paris, it is not the ideal start and it happened in a season where Liverpool was claiming a historic quadruple – an achievement that lost just two games. Gini Wijnaldum joined PSG last year, but was voted Ligue 1 “Flop of the Year” a few weeks ago. Thus, the warning signs for Manet are ubiquitous. While players such as Danny Ings, Dominic Solanke and Harry Wilson have been impressed since leaving Anfield, there are also a handful of low-key players after Klopp, such as Ryan Brewster, Mamdouh Sacho and Danny Ward. Klopp has a habit of making stars from players through his own coaching ability and dynamic management. Mane will go to a team that has already won it all inside the country, under a coach whose management has been challenged last season by Julian Nagelsmann. In addition, Mane seems unlikely to line up next to Robert Lewandowski, who has clarified his desire to leave. Previous cases show that Manet is gambling. At the peak of his strength after an amazing season for both the club and the country, he may not be missing from Liverpool and Klopp, but Mane is probably missing from Liverpool and Klopp. Manet earned everything he had to win with a red shirt, but does he take an unnecessary risk by leaving?
