Bayern Munich’s efforts to get Sadio Mane did not go smoothly because their first offer was rejected by Liverpool.
Bayern are said to have made an offer of 25 million pounds to get Sadio Mane. The amount of 25 million pounds consists of 21 million pounds as a transfer fee and a bonus of 4 million pounds if Bayern win the Champions League.
According to the Liverpool Echo report, Bayern’s offer was rejected by Liverpool. This has hampered the transfer process for Sadio Mane.
Sadio Mane’s contract at Liverpool has only one season left. The player from Senegal is said to want to try out a new adventure in his career.
Lately, one of Sadio Mane’s statements has caused an uproar for a number of Liverpool fans. The Senegalese striker continues to heat up rumors that he will leave Liverpool. Mane, who hails from Senegal, said 60 to 70 percent of the people in his country wanted him to move to another club.
In fact, Sadio Mane was ready to make it happen. It’s no exaggeration to have mixed reactions.
Sadio Mane had said the majority of the Senegalese people wanted him to leave Liverpool and he would comply. But the day after, Mane stated it was a joke.
“I was talking jokingly and it spread. I think we should stop here.”
Mane insists he will always respect Liverpool. Mane also feels comfortable strengthening the club. From day one he was treated well by fans.
“Liverpool is a club that I really respect. The fans have recognized me from day one. As for the future, let’s see what happens,” said Mane.
At the same time, he wasn’t sure what would happen after this. Mane is still focused on his national team. He has just had a long season in England.
“Regarding the future, we’ll see,” said the 30-year-old footballer.
Without a contract extension, Liverpool will lose Mane for free in 2023. Therefore, the Reds are also believed to be pushing Mane’s sale if that is what the player wants.
Thus, Liverpool will have fresh funds to hunt for new players.
As is known, Die Roten – Bayern Munich’s nickname – is anticipating the departure of Robert Lewandowski. Should Lewandowski leave, the German giants are ready to accommodate Mane from Liverpool.
