But the German coach opted against signing the Senegal attacker, who subsequently became a Southampton player for 11million.Mane scored 25 goals in his two seasons at St Marys before Klopp brought him to Anfield in a 34million deal in 2016.The Liverpool boss said: The time I have spent with Sadio Mane has been fantastic – I love the boy!He’s an outstanding player.I have made a few mistakes in my life and one of my biggest mistakes ever was not taking Sadio when I was at Dortmund. We were together in an office and I spoke to him. Afterwards I wasn’t sure but that was really my fault.“He’s an outstanding boy and life gave me a second chance to work with him and hopefully we can both use it.Mane, who signed a new five-year deal with Liverpool in November, has scored 42 goals in 100 appearances for the Reds.
