It is becoming more and more apparent that the last glimpse of Sadio Mane in the famous red of Liverpool may have come during their celebratory parade at the weekend. Cap on his head and wearing a scarf, it may have been his farewell.
The open-top bus tour was meant to be a time to draw a happy line under what has ultimately been a successful season for the club, after their FA Cup and Carabao Cup triumphs. It was marred, however, by the uncertainty surrounding Mane.
With just 12 months remaining on his contract and a desire to leave this summer, it truly does look as though the forward will walk out of Anfield.
