This is the real reason Mané is leaving Liverpool

Sadio Mané leaves Liverpool to sign for Bayern. With him, one of the great protagonists of the era of Jürgen Klopp in the 'red' club, one of its most emblematic players, leaves. One of the great responsible for the fact that since 2019 Liverpool has won a Champions League (with which the streak of titles began), a Premier, a European Super Cup, a Club World Cup, an FA Cup and a Carabao Cup. Mané  scored 120 goals for Liverpool (90 of them in the Premier).

Mané has been a fundamental part of a trident that is already part of the history of Liverpool and football in the last decade, along with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. The future of the Egyptian and the Brazilian are up in the air.

Mané had a contract until 2023 and arrived at Liverpool in 2016 from Southampton. From now on, in the absence of Bayern announcing his signing, it is already a fact that the shirt he will defend from now on is that of the German champion. But why the Senegalese winger is leaving is, at least when he began to talk about his departure, what many fans have wondered.

Was it money?

For many experts, Mané, who had another year on his contract with Liverpool, is leaving because he has not reached an economic agreement to renew. Not for a sports theme. Mané wanted to be at the level of the best paid in the 'red' club and Liverpool has rejected his request. The winger signs for Bayern for 3 years, until 2025, earning 292,000 euros a week. At Liverpool he received 116,500 euros a week. Salah would be asking for 467,000 euros per week.
