Journalist drops huge Liverpool contract claim regarding 'world-class' Reds superstar

Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane is set to be offered a new Reds deal at the end of the season, according to journalist Graeme Bailey.

The Senegalese has been one of the star men of the Jurgen Klopp era, wreaking havoc in the Premier League and Champions League, and becoming arguably one of the greatest players in the club’s history.

Mane is out of contract at the end of next season though, leading to concern about his deal running down and him eventually leaving on a free transfer next summer.

The hope is that he is given the chance to extend his stay, however, and that seems increasingly likely after a fresh update.

Writing for Anfield Watch, Bailey, a transfer insider for 90min and TEAMtalk, confirmed that Liverpool would offer Mane a new deal once the current campaign reaches its climax:

“As it stands, Liverpool have told Mane that he will be waiting until the summer before he gets an offer on a new contract.”

Mane has been hailed as a ‘world-class’ footballer by Jurgen Klopp and that remains the case, with the 30-year-old scoring 21 goals so far this season.

Extending his stay at Liverpool makes complete sense, with his fitness levels and drive meaning he should still remain at the top for several years to come.

It would be a huge shock if Mane wasn’t offered a new deal and also if he didn’t choose to sign it – he and the Reds continue to be a match made in heaven, while Klopp’s contract extension should only heighten the chances of his No.10 staying on.
