Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'knew Sadio Mane would push to when he signed his new deal to stay'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will reportedly have more control over his side's transfer business this summer as part of the new contract he signed in April.

The German recently extended his deal to stay in the dugout at Anfield until 2026, with his previous contract running out in two years' time.

Klopp reportedly knew he would have more influence in off-the-pitch affairs when he penned the fresh terms and was also aware of Sadio Mane's desire to leave Liverpool this summer, it's been claimed.
