The Liverpool winger has enjoyed a phenomenal season for club and country.
A lot of fans on Twitter believe that Liverpool’s Sadio Mane is a contender for the Ballon d’Or if he wins the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Reds star helped Senegal into the final of the competition with a 1-0 win over Tunisia after extra time on Sunday evening.
In doing so, Mane could make it two major trophies in the space of six weeks if his country go all the way, having played his part in Liverpool winning the Champions League on June 1.
The former Southampton star, a £30 million signing in 2016 [The Telegraph], netted 26 goals for the Reds last season and has managed three goals in this competition so far.
Senegal await Nigeria or Algeria in the showpiece and many fans on Twitter believe that Mane could be in the running for the game’s most coveted individual award if he fires his country to glory.
As far as value goes, Mane is easily one of Jurgen Klopp’s best signings at Liverpool.
To sign a player of this quality for a mere £30 million is a phenomenal bit of business, considering the ex-Saint is comfortably worth a minimum nine figures now.
