Fabinho claimed he tried to convince Mane to stay at Liverpool
Mane decided to continue his football career in the Bundesliga.
Sadio Mane, who joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2016, after winning numerous honors at Anfield, finally left the team in the summer and went to Bayern Munich. Mane had a lot of influence in Liverpool's recent successes and formed a successful pair with Mohamed Salah, and now Fabinho claimed that he tried a lot to prevent the departure of the Senegalese star.
“At the end of the season, I spoke a lot with Sadio. He told me about the situation that he could leave.
“I was always saying to him, ‘Come on Sadio, stay here. You can win the Premier League and the Champions League right here, don’t leave’. But I think he had already made his mind up. We had to respect that.
“Sadio had a really good story in a Liverpool shirt. He played for six years here and during that time he won everything you can win and he decided that he wanted a new challenge. That’s ok.
“After the parade in Liverpool, everyone said goodbye to him. We knew there was a good chance he would be leaving. I always kept some hope that he would still stay but then it was all confirmed. Losing Sadio is a big loss. He was one of our best players but it’s something that we can’t change. We have to deal with it. Now other players have to step up and take on greater responsibility.”
