Bayern Munich-linked Sadio Mane delivers honest opinion on life at Liverpool after helping Reds secure win over Aston Villa

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has expressed happiness at playing with the Reds after helping them secure a 2-1 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League. The forward scored the winning goal in the second half, heading home from a Luis Diaz cross.

The 30-year-old forward has recently been linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the summer. Speaking in regards to his current situation at Liverpool, the Senegalese forward was quoted as saying the following (via DaveOCKop on Twitter):

"I am just trying to enjoy every moment and assist my team mates. Without my team mates I'm nothing. I'm honestly very happy."

Sadio Mane right now has less than 18 months remaining on his contract at Liverpool. As things stand, there have been no advancements in negotiations between the club and the player.

However, interest from a European giant like Bayern Munich will surely prompt the Reds to consider offering Mane a new deal.

Sadio Mane has been one of the most important players for the Reds this season. The 30-year-old forward is currently the club's second-highest goalscorer behind Mohamed Salah. Mane has scored 22 goals and provided four assists in 48 appearances across all competitions.

It is worth mentioning that fellow forwards Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino are in a similar situation to Sadio Mane. The duo also have less than 18 months remaining on their current contract with uncertainty surrounding their long-term futures at Liverpool.

However, their contract situation is not hampering the Reds' march towards a quadruple this season. Jurgen Klopp's side have the FA Cup final to look forward to now where they will face Chelsea on Saturday, May 14.
