Jurgen Klopp reveals how Sadio Mane decided Liverpool exit

Jurgen Klopp has praised Sadio Mane and described his exit from Liverpool earlier this summer as 'completely clean'.

Mane left Anfield as a Reds legend, having won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his six-year stint on Merseyside.

The Senegal international departed for Bayern Munich back in June and Klopp said he was happy with how amicable the split was.

He said: "Sadio, what can we say about Sadio, hey? What a player. A world-class player. He and we together reinvented him as a No.9 as well in the last season, which he played outstandingly well.

"I like the way it happened now because it was completely clean. We knew, he told us, his agent told us, they wanted to leave, they wanted to have a new challenge, find a new club. [It’s] never easy negotiations – it’s all good until we talk about money, but that worked then really well.
