Klopp sent clear message about signing 12-goal bundesliga star for Liverpool

LIVERPOOL have been urged to avoid re-signing Sadio Mane this summer amid reports over the future of the 31-year-old.

The Senegal star joined the Bundesliga giants from Liverpool last summer in a deal worth around £32million.

However, Mane’s struggled to hold down a first-team spot in Germany and has managed just 12 goals in his debut campaign at the club.

The former Liverpool star had a bust-up with Leroy Sane following Bayern’s defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League, was fined two weeks’ wages, and heavily tipped to leave the club

That has led to some stunning reports in the media that Liverpool could bring him back to the Premier League but former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson is of the view Jurgen Klopp’s side should steer clear of a deal to bring Mane back to Merseyside, telling Neue Online Casinos:

‘Klopp should not look at Mane again. He is a fantastic player, but he would be coming back to a completely different team to the one that he left.

‘He was great for Liverpool at the time, but it does not mean that he would be great for them now. I don’t think they should go for him.

‘For Newcastle though, it would be huge. Being in the Champions League will help them attract even better players, and Mane would be an amazing signing.

‘They need to make the most of it this year as if they do not finish in the top 4 next year, they will still have Champions League quality players with them.

‘That will therefore help them bounce back.”

At LIVERPOOL , Mane was a key figure in Jurgen Klopp’s high press and he’s built for the pace and intensity of English football – but it would be a mistake to bring him back when he clearly does not want to be at Anfield anymore
