Mane commented on Klopp

“He said he was leaving Liverpool? Maybe he will come here (laughs),”

“He is someone who left his mark on world football, and personally, he contributed a lot to my progress.

“He is a great man, a living legend, who brought a lot, a lot to Liverpool. All the work he did there will, I think, be forever engraved in the memory of all the supporters.”
