Glen Johnson, a former Liverpool player, implores the team not to sign Sadio Mane from Bayern Munich.
Sadio Mane’s likely departure from Bayern Munich is the subject of rumors, thus Liverpool is cautioned against re-signing the former Reds winger.
There has been talk over Mane’s future as rumours surfaced that the 31-year-old is no longer part of Thomas Tuchel’s plans at Bayern.
The Senegalese winger should not be brought back to Anfield, according to former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson, and the Reds should instead prepare for life without him.
During his previous time with Liverpool, Sadio Mane performed a crucial role and made a significant contribution to the team’s success. The Liverpool of today, in contrast to the one Mane left behind at this time last year, according to Johnson, is very different.
When asked about the Mane situation by Liverpool ECHO, Johnson had the following response:
Klopp shouldn’t return Mane’s gaze. Although he is a superb player, he would return to a different team than the one he left. He excelled for Liverpool at the time, but that does not guarantee that he would do so again. I don’t believe they ought to pursue him.
Are the Reds in need of Mane?
An ex-Liverpool player’s guidance clarifies the difficulties involved in player moves and the significance of taking the present team dynamic into account. Johnson offers a helpful perspective, even though Mane’s impending departure from Bayern Munich may attract attention from various clubs.
The management of Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will likely carefully consider their choices as they evaluate the needs of their team and prospective additions during the transfer season.
Understanding that the team has already made steps to replace Mane while recruiting players like Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo is crucial to understanding why we do not require the services of another left-winger, who just so happens to be a former member of the team who left a year ago.
The team’s playstyle and tactical strategy have changed as a result of this evolution. Johnson contends that even though Mane excelled when playing for Liverpool, his current situation does not ensure that he will achieve the same degree of success.
Additionally, Mane isn’t the same player he once was, and the Reds need a young team going forward. At this time, we do not need to sign a player over the age of 31, as doing so would go against the club’s culture.
Mane is a terrific player, of that there is no question. The Kop undoubtedly adores him, and he would dearly love to return to the Reds, but from a financial standpoint, it does not appear to be a prudent move to sign the former Southampton player back.
