Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has confirmed Senegalese Sadio Mane is eligible to leave Anfield for Bayern Munich.

Speaking to him, Collymore said: “Sadio Mane’s decision to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich came as a shock to many Reds fans, but many former players fully understand his decision.”

“Of course Sadio is right. Why? Because sometimes a player just needs to know when it’s time to move on and find a new challenge.”

He concluded: “Any player who has played for Bayern Munich will tell you how professional he is, what opportunities he has and what the club has to create an incredible experience. Playing in Germany will be a new challenge and I can see that he is ready.” for that. I can also understand when Mane says he wasn’t treated like a legend at Liverpool.”
