Porto expect Liverpool to firm up their interest in winger Otavio this week after rejecting £26million bid from Leeds.
The Portuguese side believe an official offer of around £34m will be made by Jurgen Klopp’s club in what is expected to be a pivotal week for the player’s future.
Mane said: "Obviously it is strange – really, really strange – to no longer be a Liverpool player after six years spent at Anfield.
Otavio can operate out wide or in the No.10 role and was the subject of a bid from Leeds last week which fell just short of £26m.
