May 25, 2022, marked a significant day for Liverpool forward Sadio Mane as he trained ahead of the Champions League final against Real Madrid. The 30-year-old Senegalese player has been at the center of speculation regarding his future at Anfield, with just a year remaining on his current contract.
Mane has been linked with a move to German champions Bayern Munich, and in a recent statement, he revealed that he would announce a decision following the Champions League final. However, Liverpool lost the match 1-0, leaving Mane's future uncertain.
Speaking ahead of Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Benin, Mane addressed the media, stating that he had seen an online poll indicating a majority of his compatriots were in favor of a summer move.
"Like everyone else, I'm on social media and I see the comments," Mane said. "Isn't it between 60-70 per cent of Senegalese that want me to leave Liverpool? I will do what they want. We will see soon. Don't be in a hurry because we will see this together. The future will tell us."

He has won several titles, including the 2018-19 Champions League and the league title the following season. The 30-year-old has also contributed 23 goals in all competitions, helping Liverpool to the League Cup and FA Cup double last season.
