Liverpool midfielder, Fabinho has come out to say that he hoped Sadio Mane would turn down Bayern Munich’s offer and stay at the club. He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he spoke with the Senegalese at the end of the season and he responded by saying he could leave Anfield, which led him to encourage him to stay and win more Premier League and the Champions League trophies with the Reds.
Fabinho, however, added that Sadio simply wanted a new challenge and he got it in the end.
His words, “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 up his mind. 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 okay.”
“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.”
