#2 Sadio Mane on Madrid speculation

Mane responds to Madrid speculation

Liverpool superstar spoke about stories which had linked him to Real Madrid previously. Mane has been excellent for the Red ever since he joined and has attracted the attention of quite a few top clubs.

However, according to the player, all those speculations were just that and added that it is the duty of the player to get used to it ultimately.

“Speculation is part of football. You just learn to live with it and not to take it too seriously,” he said.

He then added that his full focus is solely on Liverpool and that Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah asked him to sign a new deal with the Reds, which he ultimately did.

“All I can say is that my only concern is Liverpool. Mo, Bobby…it seemed like everyone was signing contracts and they were saying: ‘Hey Sadio, when are you going to sign?’. I said to each of them: ‘Don’t worry bro, I will sign’.”
