EPL: He used half of his salary to help people, I can’t believe he’s gone – Saunders laments Mane’s departure

Former Liverpool striker, Dean Saunders, has said he still cannot get his head around Sadio Mane’s move to Bayern Munich.

Mane sealed a £35million move to the German champions yesterday, departing Liverpool after six years.

Saunders is shocked that Mane left Liverpool where he was loved by everyone including the manager, Jurgen Klopp, fans and played week in, week out..

“I’m still baffled why he’s gone,” he told talkSPORT

“Why would you leave Liverpool when everybody loves you, the manager loves you, your teammates love you?

“You’re playing in the best front-three you’re ever going to play in, in your life. You’re never gonna go to a better team than he’s in right now.

“It can’t be money because he sends half of his money back home to build villages for people; he does so much good behind the scenes.

“Maybe they’ve not offered him enough money? I don’t think it’s money but maybe, it’s the only thing I can think of.

“I can’t believe he’s gone!”
