are real madrid interested in sadio mane Ed's?
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid are still looking at a major revamp and are using Eden Hazard on the LW which was not their plan. They have plans to bring in a specific RW/S in mind and a couple of alternatives but are likely need to hold on to Asensio who they would rather let move on once fully fit - which he may not have proven by the summer. They have a bunch of senior players they have available for horse trading, particularly James Rodriguez, Isco and Bale and will look to include them in any deal. I am not aware of any direct approach to the clubs for Mane or indeed Sterling at this time and it sounds rather speculative that they would go down that route - but they will be in thir thoughts as it is not working out for Vinicius Jr at this time either.}

Everything that Sadio Mane wants to achieve he can achieve by staying at Liverpool fc.
I am confident that Mane will remain a red for a very long time.
ED002 thank you for such a detailed answer.

What if he wants to win the FA Vase?

Can’t he do that with the under twenty threes now ;)

I believe it is only natural for RM or Barcelona to look at our players because they are flourishing under Klopp at the moment. However, this time around we should have the power to hold on to our key players because we've tied down Klopp on a long term contract, the club is doing pretty well at the moment and we're on course to win the Premier League, we've proven that we can win the CL and our players are reaping the benefits of being world class at the moment under Klopp. So, if a player wants to leave, it'll most likely be a case that they've won everything that needs to be won and they want to do it in a different country. Or maybe some players are not getting the minutes they expect, like Shaq. but for those who are not getting enough game time, we'd probably won't miss them that much anyway. Mane though, I feel he is vital for the team, even more than Salah in my opinion.

Don’t underestimate the pull of the Spanish sunshine DAP. Football wise it would make little sense but they do have lives outside football.

Beckers, I'm sure African players place less importance on Mediterranean sunshine, than say, Scandinavian or other Western Europeans.

RM and Barcelona will always have the lure as long as they are successful and have world class players in their team. However, we now have a good foundation and reason for players to stay in Liverpool because we've shown that we can perform and win at the highest level. The other possible reason for leaving is money. We don't pay as much as some teams do, and although that's not a bad thing for LFC. but money dictates many things these days, so. we have to anticipate that as well.

DAP - "A good foundation" that's a massive understatement. Agreed on the money side but I expect the better we do on the field the more money will be earnt. Some of the extra will of course be paid to the players. VVD, Mane, Salah they all should be on £300k a week in todays market.
