Even the joy of adding one of the most exciting attacking players in world football cannot fully make up for his departure, which is an indication of a very excellent player.

Liverpool is in this situation right now: ecstatic with Darwin Nunez’s record-breaking arrival, yet saddened by the end of Sadio Mane’s brilliant six years at Anfield.

A vital player who has scored 120 goals in 269 games to help Liverpool win every major trophy available has been lost as a result of Mane’s departure to Bayern Munich, one of the finest forward lines in Premier League history.
