Sadio Mane- according to Jurgen Klopp who signed him to Bayern-can play until the age of ’38 or 39′ due to his excellent physical condition.
The Senegalese star, who had a year left on his contract at Klopp’s Liverpool, joined Bayern Munich this summer in a three-year deal worth up to £35 million.
However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes the 30-year-old, who scored 23 goals in all competitions last season, might play into the 2030s due to his ‘absolutely insane’ fitness.
‘He’ll play for a long time,’ he remarked. With his body, he can play till the age of 38 or 39. Bayern has a pretty fantastic player, and we had him for six years, so that’s fine, and it all demonstrated that these types of transfers can work.’ I’ll use it as an example in the future. It is totally true that modifications are sometimes required in partnerships.
‘In this case, Sadio wanted to move, so we reacted and tried to make the best of it.’ Even though we shall miss him, I am entirely comfortable with it.’
Klopp went on to explain that Mane, who joined Liverpool in 2016 for £34 million from Southampton, handled his departure from the club in a courteous and respectable manner.
Mane stated last weekend that he notified the German about his want to depart in 2021, stating, ‘I took my decision to go last year because I need a new challenge in my life.’
After helping his national team beat Salah’s Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations final in February and taking them to the World Cup, the attacker almost missed out on the African Footballer of the Year title for 2022.
