Showing excellent form in the "Liverpool" club, Sadio Mane revealed that before arriving in the Premier League, he could have worn the Dortmund "Borussia" socks.
The 24-year-old Senegalese arrived in Salzburg's "Red Bull" in 2012, and after two years he moved to "Southampton". Mane did not stay in the "Saints" ranks and this summer moved to Jurgen Klopp's coached "Liverpool" for 34 million pounds sterling.
"Before coming to England, I had the opportunity to meet Klopp, who was then in charge of the "Borussia" team," - BBC Sport interviewed the footballer.
"When I was playing for Red Bull club, Klopp tried to attract me to Borussia, but the deal didn't happen, because that's football. He is a great coach and a person who loves his players.
At the end of last season, I received a call from him and once again did not refuse the opportunity to play in his team," - added S. Mane.
This season, S. Mane scored three goals and made the same number of assists in seven games played.
