Sadio Mane is Getting Closer to Barcelona
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Liverpool winger, Sadio Mane is reportedly getting closer to joining Barcelona. Rumors of Sadio Mane approaching Barcelona are getting stronger after Lionel Messi intends to leave.
The Liverpool winger was prepared by Koeman to become a mainstay for Barcelona on the front lines. Mané has the projected opportunity to become a replacement for Luis Suarez who will be sold.
Koeman certainly understands Mane’s quality well. The two of them worked together while defending Southampton in the 2014 to 2016 period.
Reported by Mundo Deportivo, Mane is considering Barcelona’s offer seriously. He feels that his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or are more open with the Blaugrana.
Mane is one of the secrets to Liverpool’s slick performances in the last three seasons. His contribution is no less than that of other Reds stars such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk or Jordan Henderson.
The problem is, Mane doesn’t seem to have received public recognition regarding his abilities. The spotlight is more often on Salah and Van Dijk.
Moving to Barcelona is believed to make his name more calculated. Moreover, he has the opportunity to lead the new era of El Barca if Lionel Messi does leave this summer.
Even so, Barcelona must prepare large funds to redeem Mane from Liverpool. The Senegalese player’s price is around 120 million euros.
A fantastic price, of course. But Barcelona can include a number of its stars like Philippe Coutinho to make this transfer smooth.
