Liverpool have announced that Sadio Mane has agreed terms on a new long-term contract, with sources saying that the new deal runs until 2023.
Liverpool opened talks with Mane’s representatives in the summer and the club expect the contract to be signed before the end of the year.
“I am very happy, very happy to extend my time at Liverpool,” Mane told the club’s official website. “It is a great day for me and now I am looking forward to everything — to helping the team, to helping the club achieve our dreams and, especially, to win trophies.
“I’ve always said, when I knew I had a chance to come here I didn’t have to think twice. The right club in the right moment and with the right coach as well. I came here and was very happy.
“For me, I have made the best decision in my career.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said: “This is a big boost for everyone and another demonstration of how the players we have at this club are committed, not just to our present but our future also.
“I can’t think of a single club anywhere in Europe that wouldn’t want a player like Sadio available to them, so the fact he wants to remain with us says something about where we are currently.
“He is a such an important member of our team and squad. He radiates joy and I think this is reflected in his performances and impact on the pitch.
Mane has joined forward partners Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in committing his future to the Merseyside club.
