Jurgen Klopp has paid an emotional tribute to 'one of Liverpool's greatest players' and an 'modern-day icon' of the club after Sadio Mane completed his move to Bayern Munich.
Klopp said 'our loss is Bayern's gain' and said the Senegalese forward, a key part of a ruthless and devastating front three at Anfield, had helped make all of the club's recent success possible.
Mane won the Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his six-year stay on Merseyside.
'It's a big moment. There is no point in anyone trying to pretend otherwise,' Klopp said.
'One of Liverpool's greatest ever players is leaving and we must acknowledge how significant this is.
'He leaves with our gratitude and our love. He leaves with his status among the greats guaranteed. And, yes, he leaves in a moment where he is one of the best players in world football.
'But we must not dwell on what we now lose, instead celebrate what we were privileged to have.
'The goals he scored, the trophies he won; a legend, for sure, but also a modern-day Liverpool icon.'
Mane has put pen to paper on a three-year contract worth £250,000-a-week at the Allianz Arena after opting to swap Merseyside for Munich.

When Suarez and Terros left, Liverpool were still languishing in the trenches! So what are you saying??

Liverpool will surely feel the effects of Mane's absence next season and maybe then they will understand the importance of retaining the best players by awarding them improved contracts. If the repeat this mistake by letting Salah go as well then they are finished for a few seasons. Ryt now Nunez or Diaz cannot match Mane's abilities and Man City will take advantage of that.

Don't dwell so much on the money they signed him for, but consider the contract they offered him (£250,000-a-week )

Imagine Oxlade chamberlin was earning more than Sadio Mane
because he is an English player.. Thats why lfc always preserve thre english player by giving them salary which they dont even deserve!!! for sure if sadio was an english player therefore he wouldnt need to bother himself by asking for extra money.. lfc would give him even he was not in the starting 11!!! just like Ox.. on the bench for more money than a player like sadio who always gave everything on the pitch or outside the pitch at liverpool.. He deserve more everyone is sad about his departure.. we will miss him The board of liverpool will know the pain later on.. wish him more sucess.. we will miss you legend!!! i still cant admit the fact that ox have better salary than mane without doing anything for a whole season.. Benching the chairs for good money than mane..dafack😑

But I don’t understand that money for mane is very small or is it that he’s black and also an African… Mane worth more than 45-50

Klopp made a big mistake with Mane. It will cost him in lots of future game. Especially Champions league.
