Mane, who joined from Southampton in 2016, only signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool in November and said joining the Reds was the best decision of my career.This is always part of football so we have to deal with it but for me the most important thing is Liverpool and Im happy here,” he said ahead of the Champions League final.“Im preparing for one of the biggest games for the club and the fans and the players as well, so lets focus on this one first and win it. Its always a pleasure that this kind of team wants you but dont forget Liverpool. We beat big teams.Getty2
