Sadio Mane has been linked with a transfer away from Liverpool this summer, but manager Jurgen Klopp does not need to rush to find a successor.
Klopp may be concerned that Mane's departure may have an impact on Liverpool's title bid next season.
Sadio Mane's exit from Liverpool will undoubtedly have an impact on Jurgen Klopp's team next season, but the manager should avoid looking for a successor in the transfer market.
The news that the Senegalese forward is planning to depart Liverpool after six years has sent shockwaves across Merseyside.The former Southampton striker scored 16 Premier League goals for Klopp's side this season and has established himself as one of the club's greatest performers since his arrival at Anfield.
Mane's departure - reportedly to Bayern Munich – would, of course, leave a major vacuum in Liverpool's assault, considering his incredible contributions over the years. However, with several young players on the verge of joining the club, Klopp should resist the impulse to bring in reinforcements and put his faith in the players currently on the books.
Fabio Carvalho is anticipated to develop into a quality Liverpool player.
The signing in January of winger Luis Diaz, who has had an excellent start to life in England, as well as the anticipated arrival of Fulham's Fabio Carvalho, lessens the pain of Mane's departure. Furthermore, Harvey Elliott continues to demonstrate exceptional potential at every level where he competes.
Carvalho, a teen sensation who failed to make an impact in the January transfer window, was unveiled as the Reds' first summer addition last month. The 19-year-old played a key role in Fulham's promotion to the Premier League, putting in impressive performances in a variety of positions at Craven Cottage. He can play as a No.10, on either wing, and as a second striker if needed.
Carvalho, who has 10 goals and eight assists in 36 games for Marco Silva's side, is anticipated to develop into a top prospect at Liverpool, and his £8 million transfer fee could prove to be a bargain in the long run. With academy product Elliott itching for first-team opportunities, the youngster has backed up his former team-mate as he prepares to join Liverpool.
"He was my favorite player to play with as a teenager, to be honest at Fulham," he told the Liverpool Echo. I had a terrific connection with him both on and off the field, and I will undoubtedly look after him when he arrives.
"But, to be honest, I don't think I'll have to do that because he'll just blend in with the rest of the team." He possesses every quality imaginable, and it is for this reason that Liverpool has signed him.
"I'm very interested to see what he can bring to this team and to all of the supporters, and I'm confident he'll show them very soon." I'm really thrilled to see him after three years or so, and I'm thrilled to share the pitch with him once more."
Harvey Elliott is a midfielder for Liverpool.
Harvey Elliott, a Liverpool midfielder, is expected to have a bright career.
Elliott, like Carvalho, is anticipated to have a bright career under Klopp and at Liverpool once he leaves. Last season, the academy product broke into the first team, but an ankle injury at Leeds curtailed his season, and he fell into the Under-23s group to restore fitness in the final few games.
Liverpool signing another forward, regardless of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino's contract circumstances, would simply stifle Elliott and Carvalho's growth and push them down the pecking order during their formative years.
Klopp has never shied away from developing young talent, and while there are concerns that they may lose distance to Manchester City if they do not pay out, jeopardizing the future of the young pair could be more damaging in the long run.
