Senegal and Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane, has backtracked on his earlier comments stating that 60 to 70% of Senegalese people want him to leave Liverpool.

Mane has been linked with a move away from the Premier League in recent weeks.

He fueled the rumours on Friday in a press conference while on international duty for Senegal when he said, “isn’t it between 60 to 70% of Senegalese want me to leave Liverpool? I will do what they want. We will see soon! The future will tell us.”

But the 30 year old changed his tune after scoring a hattrick in a 3-1 win over Benin Republic in a 2023 Africa Cup of Nations 2023 qualifier to become Senegal’s all time highest goalscorer with 32 goals, overtaking Henri Camara in the process.
