The Reds fell 1-0 to Real Madrid at the Stade de France in the Champions League final last night.

But despite their disappointment, Liverpool showed appreciation to their fans by sharing a trophy parade with them today.

With the mood understandably subdued after last night's defeat, Mane in particular was photographed looking less than enthused.

The Senegalese star has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich this summer after six years with the Reds.

He refused to be drawn on the subject prior to the final, but talk surrounding his future is now set to ramp up.

Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier today that Mane will inform Liverpool chiefs that he wants to leave Anfield this summer.

The 30-year-old has one year remaining on his Reds contract, and is claimed to desire a new challenge.

Bayern are leading the chase for Mane, but have so far refrained from making a move out of respect for Liverpool's participation in the Champions League final.

Now that the occasion has been and gone, the German giants are set to launch their bid.

Prior to the Champions League final, Klopp hinted that Mane may leave at the end of the season.

He said: "This is the wrong moment to speak about that.

“Wherever Sadio will play next season he will be a big player. Definitely.”

Mane did manage to crack a little smile during the parade - when it was his turn to hold a replica trophy.
