Former Liverpool player: what was said about Manny was Salah

Former Liverpool legend Phil Thompson said that what is said about Reds senator Sadio Mane about his transfer to Real Madrid is something that always happens and has already been said about his Egyptian colleague Mohamed Salah.

Mane has been linked to leaving Liverpool during the current summer transfer period, amid the interest of Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

During an interview with the newspaper “Teamtalk”, Thompson said: “The same thing happened with Salah during the last season, linked to the transfer to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Juventus.”

He added: “For Mani, I think it is the same, these things always happen.”

He continued: “Manny caught his eye this season because of the way he plays. He was one of our best players last year and brought something great.”

He continued: “If you ask me who is happier in Liverpool, I will tell Manny and I think he is happy to be with us.”

Thompson believes Liverpool should try to end Timo Werner’s transfer deal from Leipzig to Anfield, noting that it will increase the challenge on the Reds’ offensive line.

“I think Verner will increase the challenge with the attacking trio,” said the former Liverpool player.

He continued: “We have Divock Origi, but its impact does not exceed 15 or 20 minutes and this is not enough. Look at Manchester City, they have top players in every position and this is what Liverpool needs and I think Verner will help the Reds in this. “
