The former Liverpool captain Gerrard earlier this week according to Daily Mail, had questioned why the Senegalese forward thought it was wise to leave the Liverpool project.

“[Mohamed] Salah has already said that he is going to be here next year, I know there is a bit of noise around Mane. 

“But why would you want to leave this Liverpool team? Because you know that they are going to be competitive in the business end of the season,” Gerrard said, cautioning the winger to consider his options carefully.

It remains to be seen whether Mane takes the former Liverpool captain's advise or not.

Bayern Munich: this season's Bundesliga winners, are the frontrunners to recruit Mane. 

La Liga heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid are also in the mix, but Bayern Munich remains the clear leader.

So far, Mane has not officially informed the club of his desire to leave as there have been no official requests for a transfer.
