After putting on a show against Benin and becoming his country’s record goalscorer, Senegalese star Sadio Mane spoke to the press about his remarks about going along with the people’s wish to leave Liverpool.”What I said yesterday was just a joke but those words went around the world. Now we have to stop. We’ll see what will happen. I am under contract with Liverpool. It’s a club that I respect. Fans have embraced me since day one. As for the future, we’ll see.”‘60 to 70% of Senegalese people want me to leave Liverpool’A reporter then asked the 32-year-old ace whether he prefers Real Madrid or Barcelona. To that, Mane revealed his favourite club in the world.”Your questions got me in trouble with Liverpool supporters. I would say that both teams are pretty good. But I am not a fan of these teams. My team is Marseille.”This wasn’t the first time that Sadio has delighted Marseille fans. During Senegalese AFCON victory celebrations, he was being filmed by OM midfielder Papa Gueye. It may have been just a joke, but Mane urged them to reunite him with Gueye on the club level.”Come on, Marseillais, make an effort! Put the money up and I’ll come. You have to pay for the transfer!”Mane when asked what team he supports between Real Madrid and Barca: “Because of you guys, Liverpool supporters are angry but I dont support those teams, I would say Marseille. My team is Marseille.” @13footballCpic.twitter.com/XWOBrzAQlH— DaveOCKOP (@DaveOCKOP) June 5, 2022 Mane is expected to join Bayern in the coming months, but you can never rule out him staying at Anfield – or maybe trying his luck at his beloved Marseille, the club that qualified for the next season’s Champions League.
