Sadio Mane was initially seen as one of the bargain deals of the 2022 summer transfer window when he departed Liverpool for Bayern Munich.
Having won everything there was to win at Anfield, Mane, called time on his Reds career
But while he would win the Bundesliga title in his first season in Germany, his maiden campaign ultimately proved to be disappointing.
The forward made 38 appearances for Bayern in his only season at the club, scoring 12 goals
Mane only made 25 Bundesliga outings, and 27 starts in all competitions, as, not helped by injury, he failed to find his best form
A dressing room altercation with team-mate Leroy Sane would see the forward suspended for one match back in April 2023
with Mane leaving Bayern in the summer to team up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.
Media reports said the deal was worth around €39mllion as he became the latest high-profile name to head to Saudi Arabia.
Mane has so far scored 15 goals in 38 apperances for Al-Nassr.
Kopites waved off the forward with a heavy heart last summer, having seen him score 120 goals during his six seasons on Merseyside
Mane helped the Reds win six trophies and be crowned champions of England, Europe and the world.
Aged 30 with a year left on his contract, admittedly it was only a matter of time before the Reds had to consider a future without the forward.
At least his flailing fortunes in Germany can leave Liverpool bosses consoled by the fact they have enjoyed Mane’s peak years before selling him at a profit.
