Senegalese striker Sadio Mané did not want to comment on the follow-up he wants to give to his career.
If Mohamed Salah was a little more diplomatic when he confirmed that he would stay at Liverpool at least for next season, Sadio Mané did not make a commitment.
Although officially scheduled as Liverpool’s press day ahead of the Champions League final, with the focus on Real Madrid in Paris, Wednesday’s day was marked by plenty of questions about Salah’s future and Mané.
Chairman Tom Werner reiterated the club’s “desire” to tie both players to new long-term contracts, and heaped praise on Julian Ward ahead of a busy summer for the new sporting director.
Not to miss
During his press conference alongside Jordan Henderson later today, Salah confirmed that he will “stay next season for sure”.
The Pharaoh emphasized his desire to focus on the final for now, saying the collective is prime right now and that he “doesn’t want to be selfish at all” keeping the spotlight on himself.
Mané remains focused on the Champions League
Speaking to Sky Sports in a separate interview, Mane was asked a similar question but, true to character, was more reserved in his response. “It would be special to win and make it seven,” he replied when asked if it would be nice to bring another European Cup and sort out his future.
“That question [sur mon avenir], I will answer it after the Champions League. Whether I stay or not, I will respond after the Champions League.”
