Tied on total goals (1-1) from the two-leg series, during the shootout Mohamed Salah missed the opening shot while his Liverpool teammate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/sadio-mane-would-be-willing-to-leave-liverpool-for-any-of-these-2-giants-20220209-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sadio Mané</a> scored Senegal’s game winning penalty.
For Egypt it is a brutal defeat after losing the African Cup of Nations to Senegal a year earlier in penalties as well. For Senegal a clear sign that their continental glory was no fluke and are a team to consider at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-teams-that-have-qualified-for-the-2022-fifa-world-cup-20211013-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a> in Qatar.
For Liverpool fans it will be bittersweet as arguably one of the best players in the world at the moment Mohamed Salah will miss out on soccer’s biggest event but crafty winger Sadio Mané is heading to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-which-stars-are-going-to-the-world-cup-which-are-not-and-which-are-almost-there-20211119-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar</a>.

Italy’s Lorenzo Insigne, Jorginho, and Marco Verratti are set to miss out on the competition after Italy’s shock 1-0 elimination at the hands of North Macedonia. The biggest name could be Erling Haaland, who did not qualify for Qatar 2022 with Norway.
Victor Osimhen, Ahmed Musa, and William Troost-Ekong are set to miss the tournament since Nigeria were bounced on away goals against Ghana. Russia’s Aleksandr Golovin is another star that is out of the tournament but due to political reasons.

World Cup fever for Liverpool teammates as Sadio Mané is in and Mohamed Salah is out of Qatar 2022

World Cup fever for Liverpool teammates as Sadio Mané is in and Mohamed Salah is out of Qatar 2022 - Bolavip US

Sadio Mane had tasted glory before when he won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-all-time-winners-list-by-year-20210526-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-best-players-from-the-americas-to-play-in-the-premier-league--20211227-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> trophies with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a>, but none of those achievements will come close to what he just achieved in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/2021-afcon-prize-money-20220121-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Africa Cup of Nations</a> with Senegal.
Because, as special as winning the best club competitions might be,nothing compares to succeeding with your national team. Especially if it’s the first title in its history, like the 2021 Afcon for Senegal, and if you score the game-winning penalty, like Mane did in the final against Egypt.
The winger has undoubtedly earned a place among the best African players of all time but he’s far from satisfied. Having won it all in nearly six years at Anfield, Mane is reportedly willing to pack his bags next summer to complete a dream move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/laliga-15-flop-signings-in-the-spanish-league-20211105-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a>.
<h2>Report: The 2 teams Sadio Mane would leave Liverpool for</h2>
According to Goal, Sadio Mane told his agents that he is open to leaving Liverpool next summer if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-this-is-how-much-arsenal-paid-aubameyang-to-terminate-his-contract-20220202-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> or Real Madrid approach him. At 29 years of age and soon to turn 30 in April, Mane is reportedly looking forward to facinga new challenge at one of the La Liga giants before he reaches the final stages of his career.
Mane is under contract until 2023 and it is understood thatnotalks for his renewalhave been held so far. Therefore, next summerwould be the perfect timing for his departure as the club would be able to cash in before he leaves for nothing.
However, it remains to be seen whether any of these clubs will actually make an offer. Real Madrid’s priority target is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psg-kylian-mbappe-reportedly-under-pressure-to-sign-new-deal-amid-real-madrid-interest-20220114-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylian Mbappe</a>, who may arrive for free, and they also have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/thomas-muller-disses-erling-haaland-on-the-forwards-chances-of-playing-for-bayern-munich-20220203-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a> on their sights. Barcelona, on the other hand, are still battling with a financial crisis.

Sadio Mane would be willing to leave Liverpool for any of these 2 giants - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-liverpool-eye-colombian-star-with-salah-and-mane-absent-in-january-20211201-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Africa Cup of Nations</a> is expected totake place between January and February 2022 after being postponed this year due to the pandemic. However, the Covid-19 is still present in our lives and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/international-t92967" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tournament</a> is suffering its impact again.
The European Club Association (ECA) has threatened with not releasing their players to the continental competition over concerns for the rising cases of the new Covid variant Omicron.
Over 40 African players who perform in the Old Continent would be affected by that stance, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a> superstars <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mohamed-salah-t199197" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohamed Salah</a> and Sadio Mane. With the tournament drawing nearer, it’s a situation that needs to be resolved fast.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-44"> </div>
</div>
<h2>European Club Association concerned ahead of Africa Cup of Nations</h2>
The ECA sent a letter to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/fifa-t92" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIFA</a>‘s Deputy Secretary Mattias Grafstrom showing their concern for the health protocols that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) would implement during the contest, emphasizing on three aspects clubs consider significant in order to release their players.
“First and foremost, the clubs’ duty to ensure each and every player’s wellbeing is properly protected; second, that clubs are not forced to be without players for club competition matches; third, that all players resume their activities with their clubs following national duty in a timely fashion, as per the applicable rules,” the ECA statement read.
This has raised speculation around a possible postponement of the competition, something that people inside the CAF have immediatelydenied. ESPN got in touch with CAF’shead of media relations, Luxolo September, who said: “Our position is very clear. AFCON will be in Cameroon in January 2022. The opening match will be played on Jan. 9. [There have been] no discussions [about postponement], and there are zero contingency plans.”
The Africa Cup of Nations, which wasoriginally expected to take place between June and July 2021, will be played from January 9 to February 6, 2022, in Cameroon. The last edition, held in Egypt in 2019, saw Algeria emerge as champions.

Salah, Mane's participation in 2021 AFCON uncertain as European clubs threaten not to release players

Salah, Mane's participation in 2021 AFCON uncertain as European clubs threaten not to release players - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/liverpool-t26467" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a> got off to a strong start to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/editorial-why-jurgen-klopp-can-finally-lead-liverpool-to-premier-and-champions-League-double-20211103-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021-22 season</a>, in which they hope to fight both for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Premier League</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a>. However, there’s still a long way to go and the quest for any of these titles won’t get any easier.
Right now, the English league title race is extremely tight with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-city-t74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> looking as heavy favorites to challenge for the trophy as well. Last season,casualties have proven costly for the Reds, which is why Jurgen Klopp doesn’t want history to repeat itself only a year later.
But Liverpool will unfortunately suffer two big abscences in January as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mohamed-salah-t199197" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohamed Salah</a> and Sadio Mane are set to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations, which will run from January 9until February 6. However, they might have a backup plan.

<h2>Liverpool reportedly target Colombian star as Salah, Mane backup in January</h2>
Liverpool are determined to learn from last season’s experience to get back to glory days this term. Klopp saw how the lack of alternatives cost his side a trophyless campaign, so now he would be a step ahead.
According to Portuguese outlet Record, the German boss wants to bring in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/luis-diaz-t23516" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Luis Diaz</a> of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/porto-t110856" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Porto</a> to Liverpool in the winter transfer window. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/colombia-t18091" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colombian</a> midfielder had a fantastic performance with his national team in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-america-t25985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Copa America</a> and has already drawn interest from the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/bayern-munich-t112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>.

</div>
Diaz has carriedhis great international level to club competition as he has apparently caught the eye of Klopp. Porto faced Liverpool twice <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-2021-22-table-find-out-here-the-ucl-group-stage-standings--20210914-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in the ongoing UCL</a> and the former Junior player has reportedly made an impression on the Reds manager.
A few months ago, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-colombian-star-wanted-by-barcelona-bayern-chelsea-is-valued-at-80m-20211010-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it was reported that Porto set an €80 million price for Luis Diaz</a> amid interest of other clubs. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will make a move in winter, but the truth is that they can’t risk falling apart in the title race while Salah and Mane are on international duty.
