Sadio Mane: Liverpool forward tipped to ‘fly the nest’ after source’s reveal – pundit
Liverpool will look to move Sadio Mane on this summer.
That is the view of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the “changing of the guard” at Anfield.
Mane scored the only goal in Liverpool’s win over West Ham on Saturday.
The Senegal international has been deployed in a central role for the Reds since the arrival of Luis Diaz in January.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider (4 March) that Mane fears FSG are happy to cash in on him this summer.
The winger is yet to agree a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2023.
When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of Mane’s situation, Campbell said: “I think we are seeing the changing of the guard.
“One of Mane or [Mohamed] Salah is going to go in the summer, I truly believe that.
“Jurgen Klopp will know what is going to happen at the end of the season and I think that is why he is fully integrating Diaz right now. It is important for him to integrate Diaz.
“Jota has a great future at the future as well. He has already proven to be a great signing.
“Where the contracts are with Mane and Salah, I can only see one staying. One of them is going to go.
“You cannot have all of them on your books on big wages. If I’m honest, I think Mane will be the one who flies the nest.”
