“60% or 70% of Senegalese want me to leave Liverpool. So I will do what the Senegalese want. The future will tell us," Mané told reporters.

The former Southampton star could join Bayern Munich in the transfer window to end his six year stay with the Reds.

Mané has had a good campaign with Liverpool in the just ended campaign, winning the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

Earlier in the year, he won the Africa Cup of Nations with the Teranga Lions of Senegal.

Liverpool identify Martin Terrier as replacement for Mane

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Liverpool are already in the market for Sadio Mane’s replacement after the Senegalese striker confirmed he will be leaving the Reds after six seasons at Anfield.

Mane has been an integral member of Liverpool after joining the Reds from Southampton in 2016 but decided to walk away from Liverpool with just one year left on his present deal.

According to a report via Sport Bible, Liverpool has now identified Rennes attacker, Martin Terrier as the perfect replacement for Sadio Mane.

Sadio Mane wants to leave Liverpool

Senegal international Sadio Mane has reportedly decided to bring his six-year stay at Liverpool to an end this summer.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 30-year-old is set to notify the Reds that he wants to leave the club this summer to look for a new challenge.

Mane's contract with Jurgen Klopp's side expires in 2023. That means that the upcoming transfer window is Liverpool's last chance to cash in on the forward.
