According to Metro UK, his contract with the Reds is set to expire in the summer of 2023, leaving the Merseyside club in danger of losing him on a free transfer next year.

His contract situation has since sparked speculation that Liverpool could cash in on him this summer rather than lose him for free.

Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich, are understood to be the leading contenders for Mane's services, while Real Madrid have also been linked.

Sadio Mane non-committal to Liverpool's future

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Champions League final with Real Madrid on Saturday, May 28, in Paris, the 30-year-old hinted at dumping the Jurgen Klopp-tutored side this summer.

When asked directly about a possible move to Bayern, Sky Sports reports that Mane revealed he will provide clarity over his future after the Saturday European showdown.

"I think the question is a very good question, for now, it’ll be difficult for me to answer," Mane said.
"But for sure, I’m very focused on the Champions League. Ask me the question after the Champions League, and I will answer you," he added.

Sadio Mane honoured with beautiful mural back home

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Sadio Mané has been honoured with a gigantic mural in his hometown in Diamniadio, Senegal following his heroics with the Teranga Lions early this year.

The Liverpool star led the West African country to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title this year, scoring the winning penalty as they defeated Egypt.

Senegalese artist Semedo shared the painting of the mural on social media as the people of Diamnidio celebrate their hometown hero.
