Sadio Mane has decided he wants to leave Liverpool this summer, one year before his contract expires, according to Fabrizio Romano.
With Liverpool locked in a contract stand-off with Mohamed Salah and his representatives, there has been plenty of talk about Mane and his future over the last couple of months. Bayern Munich have apparently expressed a strong interest in his services as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, and Romano says the Bavarians remain a strong candidate to land the 30-year-old Senegalese.
Having joined Liverpool from Southampton back in 2016, Mane has gone on to win practically every trophy on offer in club football, including the Champions League, the Premier League, the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, along with the UEFA Super Cup and the …
If games and seasons turn on moments, Son Heung-min s strike against the woodwork at Anfield might prove huge for both Tottenham and Liverpool.
From a tight angle early in the second half, Spurs forward Son went agonisingly close to handing the visitors a 2-0 lead.
Liverpool would have been deflated, Spurs elated. Yet come the final whistle, with that single-goal deficit overturned, it was the Reds chalking up another victory.
They remain bang on target for a first Premier League title, while Mauricio Pochettino s Tottenham lurk uncomfortably in mid-table.
Liverpool, then, are back to winning ways in the competition they yearn to capture most of all, chasing another streak of successes after their 17-match sequence came to a halt with the draw against Ma…

According to a recent report from Marca, Real Madrid are not planning on allowing Vinicius Junior to leave the club during the January transfer window, regardless of whether or not it’s a loan deal or a permanent one. This comes despite the fact that Zinedine Zidane has not featured him at all in his last two matchday squads, leading to increased speculation that his time at the Santiago Bernabeu could be coming to an end.
Real have an abundance of attacking options as we all well know, but there’s certainly also an argument to be made that they are just as capable of replacing stars if things just aren’t working out. Vinicius Junior has been able to prove himself on certain occasions within Real’s ranks, but if there’s some kind of divide or friction between the tw…

Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany praised his side s mentality after they came from behind to beat Wolfsburg in their Bundesliga opener on Sunday.
An 82nd-minute goal from Serge Gnabry secured a 3-2 win at Wolfsburg and handed Kompany, who replaced Thomas Tuchel after their disappointing third-place finish last season, a winning start in the Bundesliga.
Bayern took the lead thanks to Jamal Musiala s 19th-minute opener, but started the second half in shocking fashion as they gave away a penalty just after the restart and then made a defensive error that enabled Wolfsburg to turn matters around.
However, after an own goal from Jakub Kaminski, Harry Kane teed up Gnabry to grab a late winner and seal all three points.
I enjoyed it, it was my first Bun…
