Liverpool winger Sadio Mane has hinted at an Anfield exit by saying he'll follow the wishes of the Senegalese people, after a poll showed a majority want him to leave this summer.
The forward has one year left on his Reds contract and has been linked with Bayern Munich.
He was asked about an online poll about his future during a press conference while on international duty with the African champions.
He said: "Like everyone else, I'm on social media and I see the comments. Isn't it between 60 to 70 per cent of Senegalese that want me to leave Liverpool?
"I will do what they want. We will see soon! Don't be in a hurry because we'll see this together."

Sky Sports report that Bayern are prepared to offer the 30-year-old a three-year deal and Liverpool a fee of €30 million plus bonuses worth €5-10m.
That won’t be enough to satisfy the Premier League club, though.
