'If Mane wanted to reach Barcelona, he will have to conquer Messi' – Liverpool stronger than Liga giants, Aldridge says
Sadio Mane doesn't need to abandon Liverpool for Barcelona, says John Aldridge, since the Reds are better off than the League giants, and the Senegalese will have to "overcome Lionel Messi" if he transferred to Camp Nou.
Speculation over a big-money move to Spain tends to swirl around the star turn at Anfield, with Real Madrid said to be some of his more high-profile suitors.

Mane has accomplished a great deal in England, with a fruitful period on Merseyside bringing Champions League success, a possible Premier League crown, and a Golden Boot.

"For so many young people, it was unfair that they find themselves in the Messi and Ronaldo era. To finish above them, you've had to do something completely special." Liverpool, however, shouldn't be too worried about Mane's situation.
"Liverpool never stood in such a good position to carry their finest player. Well, now will be the worst moment for them to finally start cashing in." Mane was probably our best player this season. And what's more, this season, he'll be a lot better off, and maybe he'll win the Champions League again.
"Moreover, Liverpool is a better side than Barcelona or Real at the moment." As things move on, you really have to enjoy it, so I'm sure that Mane has been here for the last 18 months.
"That said, if the players just want to leave, it's hard to hold them in the modern century." But Mane doesn't seem to be the kind of person. If I've spoken to him, he appears to be very cool, so he doesn't appear to be someone who's going to be agitating like other stars like Fernando Torres.
