Anyone have any idea why Mane hasn't signed a new deal yet?

Is he looking to leave like Can, by running his contract down?

I really hope he signs and stays!

He looks happy and is performing well, so fingers crossed.

Mane still has over 2.5 years left on his current contract.

When you look at the new contracts being offered to and signed by some of the important players, it's just slightly worrying that he hasn't yet.
I mean, Gomez only signed a new contract last year and is in the process of being offered a new deal.
Firmino has signed again.
There was news that Mane had been offered a deal in the summer, but no news of it being signed yet.

Lol FTR, exactly mate. I'd of thought people would just enjoy the moment, what we're going through is nothing short of fantastic.

Contracts these days mean bugger all anyway! time to forget it and let the club do their job, Mane I have no doubts will sign a new contract when he/ the club are ready. In the meantime forget all of the negativity and enjoy what we have right now! which is a squad capable of winning that bloody title!, that's all what matters to me, the here and now, the future doesn't exist yet so we shouldn't worry about something what hasn't happened.

I was about to write exactly the same thing Salah, contracts mean nothing other than the player being guaranteed to earn a certain amount of money for a certain length of time.

I would be more worried if he doesn’t sign an extension next summer rather than worry about it right now. Pure speculation, but I would imagine any recently offered contract was probably not as lucrative advance say Salahs after his brilliant seasons and Mane wants the same. Hence a stalemate and Mane being challenged by the club to match Salahs feats to get a similar contract. A long shot but seems feasible in my head anyway. Mane is not short on confidence and I personally consider him to be a superior player to Salah.

We’d really, really, really like Sadio Mane to put pen to paper on a bumper new Liverpool deal.

He’s one of our most important players, was rewarded the no.10 this summer, has bagged 18 goals in his past 30 matches and has a brilliant offensive relationship with Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But while his team-mates extended their deals earlier in 2018 and are contracted to the club until 2024 and 2023 respectively, Mane has yet to sign.

James Pearce of the Echo explained during a Q&A yesterday that at the moment, there’s nothing to worry about, as the Senegalese has two and half years left to run, but did indicate that it’s a situation that could become problematic eventually.

“Sadio Mane is under contract until 2021. Liverpool made it clear towards the end of last season that they would be willing to reward his progress with a new long-term deal and preliminary talks were opened, ” Pearce said.

“Clearly, those discussions have yet to reach a conclusion but Liverpool don’t seem overly concerned about the situation. Mane is clearly happy at Anfield and the Reds have a good relationship with his agent Bjorn Bezemer.

“With Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino having penned new long-term contracts this year, Mane is the next priority.

“If the situation remains unresolved come next summer then a degree of concern would be understandable but I don’t see it as a big issue currently. ”

We imagine the current impasse is about money, as most contract debates are. Liverpool are surely willing to make Mane one of our highest paid players, in line with Mo and Bobby, but perhaps his agent is looking for more.

Perhaps the 26-year-old can prove he’s worth it in the coming months, which we’ll be delighted with.

Mane is worth a monstrous contract, and we think he’ll eventually sign one – but having witnessed what happened with Emre Can – it’s a little frustrating.
