Mane could fall foul of history

It seems the odds are stacked against Sadio Mane as he edges ever closer to joining Bayern Munich.

The Liverpool forward flew into Germany on Tuesday to undergo his medical before being spotted signing autographs in the colours of his new club. It appears all that's left for Mane is to cross the i's and dot the t's before his wish to embark on a new challenge this summer is finally granted.

The 30-year-old has made no secret of his desire to move on to pastures new in recent weeks, content on leaving his Liverpool legacy behind in search of new horizons. However, in doing so, Mane is ignoring the advice of the club's legends and running the risk of following in the footsteps of a number of the Reds' fallen stars.
