READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Out of contract in 2023 (Transfermarkt), Mane, along with Mohamed Salah, will be hoping for a new deal in the not too distant future.
However, following the capture of positional rival Luis Diaz, there is direct competition for the £72million valued ace.
Unlikely to be short of suitors this summer, Liverpool may have to cash in on the Senegalese star shold no new deal be on the horizon.
In the meantime, Klopp will be delighted with their options between now and the end of the season – at which point a big decision may have to be made over a number of important players.
