Transfer: Klopp ‘shocked’ as Mane joins Ronaldo at Al Nassr

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has expressed his surprise at Sadio Mane’s failed move to Bayern Munich.

Mane left Anfield last summer after seven years to sign for the Bundesliga giants.

Bayern paid around £34million for the Senegal winger, who had just won two trophies for the Reds, finishing runners-up in the Premier League and finalists in the Champions League.

However, Mane’s single season turned into a nightmare as Bayern switched managers, and he had a public bust-up with team-mate Leroy Sane.

Mane has now put pen-to-paper on a £650,000-a-week deal with Al Nassr.

“I don’t know what went wrong [at Bayern].

“When he left us, he left us on a high in really good shape, a world class player.

“New environment, new expectations maybe. I didn’t speak to Sadio about it,” Klopp said.
