Sadio Mane has held talks with Bayern Munich boss Nagelsmann but German giants still £8m short of Liverpool valuation
BAYERN MUNICH are still falling short of Liverpool's valuation of Sadio Mane, it's claimed. The Senegalese international has made it known he is looking for a move away from the Reds this summer, despite another stellar season. 1 Mane has been with the Reds since 2016Credit: PA Mane scored 23 goals in a colossal season for Jurgen Klopp's men, where dreams of the quadruple got away from them at the end of the campaign. It is being claimed that a bid from the Bundesliga champions still falls around £8million short of Liverpool's valuation. However, the Daily Mail are reporting that contact has been made between Mane and potential new boss Julian Nagelsmann. Bayern's original offer for the 30-year-old would only amount to £30m if the forward helped the club win THREE Champions League titles in a row. Mane would also need to be awarded the Balon D'or for those three consecutive seasons, a feat already unlikely following Karim Benzema's outstanding season for Real Madrid. The Bundesliga giants are trying to sort their own wantaway star problems too, with striker Robert Lewandowski wanting to leave. Barcelona are reportedly firm favourites for the Polish international, however their financial woes could hand an unlikely chance to Chelsea in securing the deal. Meanwhile Liverpool are making their presence known in the market this summer, as they up their interest in Darwin Nunez.

Why Sadio Mane Would Be Wasted On Bayern Munich And The Bundesliga

(Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images) Getty Images For Sadio Mane’s Liverpool career the writing appears to be on the wall. Ahead of the Champions League final versus Real Madrid, rumors swirled that he would be moving to German giants Bayern Munich. Whilst on international duty, the 30-year-old fuelled speculation further by remarking light-heartedly “I look at the social networks like all the young Senegalese. Sometimes I see the comments and if you look at it, 60 to 70 percent of Senegalese want me to leave Liverpool, right? And I would do what the Senegalese want.” It was a comment he soon regretted when speculation went into overdrive. "I spoke yesterday while joking with a bit of humor and it was everywhere,” he back-pedaled the following day. “I think we'll stop there. Liverpool is a club I respect a lot. The fans adopted me since day one.” The ominous sign-off, for Liverpool fans at least was: “regarding the future, we'll see.” A departure to the German champions remains far from complete. It’s been reported that an initial $31 million bid for Mane has been rejected and that a second $37 million offer will also be turned down. But FC Bayern is confident the club will get their man and those in the know are tipping him to be the replacement for the club's current talisman. “What I hear is that he wants to come to Munich,” ex-Bayern and Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann told English radio station talkSPORT. “He's made it pretty clear that he thinks his time in Liverpool is up and he wants to come and now it's a matter of how much Liverpool will want for him. “Obviously Robert Lewandowski wants to join Barcelona, he only has a year left on his contract, so I think Bayern Munich will want to get both deals done in the next few days or next few weeks, but I think it's very likely that he plays his football here next year.”
