Sadio Mane’s advisor Bacary Cisse has revealed Argentina and PSG superstar Lionel Messi wanted to play alongside the Senegal international at Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The Lion of Teranga recently ended his successful six-year stay at Liverpool by sealing a move to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. The 30-year-old signed a deal that will see him stay with the Bavarians until 2025.<\/p>\n
However, it has now emerged that the versatile attacker could have left the Merseyside-based charges earlier as confirmed by his representative.<\/p>\n
“Last year, he could have done it with FC Barcelona too,” Cisse\u00a0told RMC on the After Foot Show.<\/p>\n
“It was Lionel Messi who wanted Sadio Mane, when it was a question of him extending to Barca. Before [eventually] going to Paris Saint-Germain, he had given two names; Sadio Mane and an Argentine central defender.<\/p>\n
“It was in June when they were in the middle of the Copa America.”<\/p>\n
