BAYERN MUNICH star Sadio Mane whispered a message to Bukayo Saka as the pair met at the Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday night.
Former Liverpool forward Mane, who moved to the German champions in the summer, finished as runner-up in the award to Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.
Before the ceremony got underway he bumped into Arsenal gem Saka, embracing his fellow forward.
It is not clear what was said between the pair but Saka beamed as he listened to what Mane had to say.
Some have speculated that Mane was trying to persuade the England international to move to Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp is believed to be a big fan of Saka with Liverpool and Manchester City reportedly monitoring his situation at Arsenal.
