The rumors about Sadio Mané’s move from Liverpool to FC Bayern have recently escalated. Last but not least, the offensive player himself fueled speculation with his own statements in public. A decision could be made soon.
As “pictureSoccer boss Christian Falk said on Sunday that he was “90 percent sure” that the 30-year-old would be transferred to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
The German record champions and the Senegalese are said to have already agreed on a change. However, no agreement has yet been reached with Liverpool FC, as was recently reported in the English and German media.
“The player must be really enthusiastic about FC Bayern’s efforts,” Falk told the “Bild” on Sunday.
It is still unclear when the final breakthrough could also come between the clubs. The biggest unresolved issue is said to be the transfer fee for the offensive all-rounder. Mané currently has one year left on his contract with the Reds and is expected to sign a three-year contract with FC Bayern.
20 million euros salary for Mané in talks
Up to 20 million euros are traded as an annual salary for the world-class player.
According to the media report, Mané at Bayern should be particularly interested in the fact that he could step out of the shadow of his previous striker colleague Mohamed Salah in Munich and rise to the top star in his team himself.
In Liverpool, the footballing achievements of his Egyptian team-mate Salah have been the focus of reporting in recent years.
Sadio Mané has scored 90 goals in 196 Premier League games for Liverpool since 2016. He had moved from Southampton FC to team manager Jürgen Klopp’s club.
