“One of the best players in Liverpool history has left and we have to realize how important he is.

He leaves with our gratitude and love. He leaves with guaranteed status among the greats. And yes, he leaves at the moment when he is one of the best soccer players in the world.

But instead of celebrating the privileges we have, we don’t have to stick to what we are losing now.

“The goals he won, the titles he won, of course legends, as well as modern Liverpool icons.

“I fully respect their decision and I trust our supporters will. If you love LFC, you must love Sadio. There is no deal. When it’s a Bavarian win, you can do it.”

“Of course I wish him the best of luck in every game he plays, unless he comes up against us. His star will continue to rise, I’m sure.
