According to a media report, the German soccer series champion FC Bayern is considering a mega transfer. Allegedly, none other than Sadio Mané from Liverpool has been targeted.
Sadio Mané is Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic’s dream player, reports “Sky”. FC Bayern are seriously considering signing the Liverpool attacker soon, according to the “Transfer Update” show.
The 30-year-old only has one contract with the club led by team manager Jürgen Klopp until 2023. Since the Reds recently had priority over extension with fellow striker Mohamed Salah, Mané is said to be flirting with a farewell.
Concrete negotiations between Bayern Munich and Liverpool are said to have not yet taken place. However, Hasan Salihamidzic recently met with Sadio Mané’s advisor Björn Bezemer. Both are said to have met on Salihamidzic’s controversial trip to Mallorca, and the Liverpool attacker was also discussed.
Spectacular exchange between FC Bayern and FC Liverpool?
One thing is clear: Liverpool FC should not let their superstar go easily. Sadio Mané is one of the top performers in Jürgen Klopp’s team. In 264 appearances for the Reds so far, the 86-time national player has provided 117 goals and 47 assists, in the current season alone he has 20 goals and four assists in all competitions.
He is likely to have become the focus of Salihamidzic’s mind games, mainly because of the uncertain future of attacker Serge Gnabry. The contract talks with the German national player, who is tied to Munich until 2023, have been stalled for some time, according to media reports. According to “Sky”, an agreement is currently not in sight.
Rather, there are indications of an early separation so that FC Bayern can still generate a transfer fee for the attacker. Another possibility, according to the report: a swap deal with Sadio Mané and Liverpool FC. According to “Sky”, this scenario is at least not ruled out in Bavaria’s considerations.
After FC Bayern’s game against VfB Stuttgart (2: 2), the Bayern boss did not want to rule out that the club would announce a transfer hammer this summer: “Let yourself be surprised. We have to see what is possible and what not. We have creative ideas.”
