Liverpool have been warned that selling Sadio Mane could prove to be a "nightmare" for the club. Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes the Senegal star is as important as Mohamed Salah and wants them to keep him for the future.
Mane is reportedly considering a move away from Liverpool this summer, with just over a year left on his contract. The forward has been linked (via Sports Illustrated) with Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
Parlour was talking talkSPORT (via HITC) when he claimed it would be a massive loss for Liverpool to sell Mane. He added that the forward is as important as Salah and said:
"L'pool, will they lose Mane? It would be a massive loss if they lost Mane. It would be a nightmare for them because he is such an important player for them, as much as Salah is."
Sadio Mane urged to join Bayern Munich from Liverpool
While Liverpool fans are still hoping for Mane to change his mind and remain at Anfield, former Reds goalkeeper David James has urged him to leave.
The Englishman believes the time has come for Mane to try a new challenge and told Sky Sports:
"I was just looking at his achievements. I think the FA Cup is the only trophy he hasn't won in England. You add the Champions League, the Africa Cup of Nations, then this guy is in the purple patch of his career. I think he is still the record-holder for the quickest hat-trick in the Premier League as well."
James went on to add:
"If you have an optimum time where you can make the most of a move, given that he isn't English then, therefore, he's a traveler. The idea of going to Germany and playing for Bayern Munich would be something that suits his overall career."
He concluded:
"Now is the time to do it for Sadio Mane, as much as I know L'pool fans will be saying 'no I want him to stay till the end of his career'. If he has a perfect opportunity, then this season will be it."
Bayern Munich are leading the race and reports suggest the Bundesliga champions have already offered the forward a three-year deal.

How many times have you seen salah defending? Do they judge a player in assist? Look at his work rate, dropping in midfield and even in defence to create chances! U will soon realise his importance
what chance is he creating? you think running around the pitch makes you the better how many chances has he created from running around the pitch mane has never be a better defender than Salah

no player is biger than the club.when we lost Torres we get surres n sterling went they left we get salah n mane.so LIVERPOOL IS A BIG CLUB.if both of you leave.klopp can bring up 2 super players.
Between the time you lost Torres and now, all you have to show is 1epl and 1ucl. for 2 seasons in a row, you've not won the ucl or Epl, and you are losing one of your best players. If kloop doesn't win any of the two next, he will start feeling the heat. U can't consistently win the big two trophies without holding unto your stars.

Liverpool lost Torres, Suarez, Sterling, Cuothino, Owen, Mcmanaman and many more during their peaks. Life still goes on because we are Liverpool and it mean more. YNWA

I'm getting mad at this whole Mane transfer saga. I agree Mane is a good player who has contributed immensely to Liverpool recent success. But we can't allow that to underestimate Mr. Klop's tactical ability. Remember, we had other good players before, and all of them left. We are still Liverpool. We lost Countinho and Wajnadom and everyone felt that it was over. Do we still miss them? Come on All Football, leave Liverpool alone. In Klop we trust. No player is bigger than Liverpool. Thank you Mane for all you did for our beloved club. I pray that you have a wonderful future career wherever you will be. Liverpool remains your home club legend.

Mane and Salah obviously knew Liverpool needs them and are blackmailing them for ridiculously high salaries and Liverpool is not giving in. So both need to show they mean business and will not stay if their demand are not met. They both are selfish and doesn't care the ship will sink without them.
Let him keep saying stupid stuffs...liverpool will regret letting them go...how will this this two great players receiving salary that even English bench warmer players received much more than...racist is really bad

Stupid people will keep making noise that Man city spent a lot.,,why won’t they spent when they know it’s important for better players.. Liverpool is a stingy club,if they can’t do what mane and salah requested for...bcus two of they are really important to the club,if it’s white player naw,they will accept th deal,bcus he is a black man..non of you see his value again.... Liverpool will suffer it next season if they mean mane,I promise Liverpool fans.... Mane said s one of the best striker in EPL,respect his ability and stop been biased because he is black..

I think he wants to leave because Mo Salad is not playing as a team mate. l watched the game and I saw the unfriended behavior. Madrid won't have defeated Liverpool on 5/28/22. An assist from Salad could change the story. Let's pray for Mane to stay and not go.
which assist

letting Mane go will be a loss for the club...he usually creates more chances and threat for the club than Salah...he isn't selfish as Salah as well...he is just humble towards his mates Salah... let him go and see if Salah can play better without Mane... I bet Salah and the team will not be better without him

Your Mane has only 2 assists across all competitions. So in play making, he makes Salads, and no player is bigger than a club.

You are talking rubbish! Will you continue to work for an entity that under values ur worth?? How can a world class player like Mane be earning less than £200k weekly and you expect him to remain with the team. That is criminality and selfishness from Liverpool and they will suffer for it if they lost these two electric performers.

You’re just stupid, you think people’s life and happiness are for your amusement, they play football mostly for the money, and you don’t want them to push for a deserving pay, when little boy from England earn that much and do nothing compared to Salah and Mane.
