Sadio Mane

Liverpool have accepted Bayern Munich's latest offer for Sadio Mané and the forward is due to have a medical before signing a three-year contract.

Núñez is the most high-profile of Liverpool’s summer signings but two other players are joining Jürgen Klopp’s squad. Mané started 32 of Liverpool’s Premier League games in the 2021-22 season and 11 of their 13 Champions League fixtures. Bayern are paying a guaranteed £28m and the fee could reach £35m with add-ons.

Mane only had 12 months left on his Anfield contract and verbally agreed terms on a three-year deal with Bayern worth a reported £250,000-a-week, leaving Liverpool with little bargaining power. As for Liverpool., their summer activity looks set to have come to an end, with Fabio Carvalho and Aberdeen youngster Calvin Ramsay joining Nunez at Anfield next season. They will feel they have got the best deal possible after Mane told them following their Champions League Final defeat three weeks ago that he wanted to leave.

Liverpool have accepted Bayern Munich's latest offer for Sadio Mané and the forward is due to have a medical before signing a three-year contract.

Liverpool appreciated the respectful way in which Mané went out about communicating his desire to go. Mané started 32 of Liverpool’s Premier League games in the 2021-22 season and 11 of their 13 Champions League fixtures. Bayern are paying a guaranteed £32.65 million and the fee could reach €41 million with add-ons.

His overall total of 120 puts him 14th in Liverpool's all-time scoring charts. Mane was, after all, Klopp's first major signing. It has been that way ever since the Egyptian's arrival, a year after his, in 2017. It is a familiar dynamic.

That leaves Salah, who is also in the final 12 months of his contract, as the only remaining member of manager Jurgen Klopp’s famed front three likely to be guaranteed a regular start with Firmino, 31 in October, likely to play out the final year of his contact without a renewal. His departure means Liverpool, whose strike force of Mane, Salah and Roberto Firmino established itself as one of the best in the world, are likely to have a new-look forward line for their Premier League opener at Fulham on August 6. With the 30-year-old in the final year of his contract and expressing a desire to leave, the Reds signed Benfica striker Darwin Nunez this week in a potential club-record £85m transfer.

A subsequent bid was rejected but a compromise was reached on Friday which is likely to see Mane, who is believed to have agreed a three-year contract with the German club, replace Robert Lewandowski, who has expressed a desire to leave. With the 30-year-old in the final year of his contract and expressing a desire to leave, the Reds signed Benfica striker Darwin Nunez this week in a potential club-record £85m transfer.

Mane's impending departure to Bayern Munich means Jurgen Klopp's famed original front three will be broken up.

With Mane and strike partners Salah and Firmino all entering the last 12 months of their deals there was a need to get them signed up or phase them out. In reality Mane could speak to overseas clubs in January and leave for free next summer. The Senegal international is 30 and, in the final year of his contract, made it clear he wanted to move on.

Between them, Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have scored a remarkable 374 goals for the Reds. However, with the trio now in their 30s – and all in the ...

With Mane and strike partners Salah and Firmino all entering the last 12 months of their deals there was a need to get them signed up or phase them out. The 22-year-old Nunez may be raw and have only one decent season behind him but his six-year contract highlights the faith Klopp and his coaching staff have in the former Benfica striker. The Senegal international is 30 and, in the final year of his contract, made it clear he wanted to move on.

Mane has not always received the recognition he deserves for his role in Liverpool's recent successes but his importance can hardly be overstated. He is Liverpool's clutch performer, to use a term popular in American sports, and the numbers bear it out. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. "He's always moving for someone else but his performances never drop," added Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. "It doesn't seem to matter where Mane plays, you get exactly the same from him. His overall total of 120 puts him 14th in Liverpool's all-time scoring charts. Fast, ferociously aggressive and ruthlessly efficient, he came to embody Klopp's Liverpool perhaps better than anyone else.

From hopeful Melwood Lean to lifting every cup he could, Sadio Mane achieved it all at Liverpool.

The hope of the title was tangible. He rose to the occasion time and time again. We got the absolute best of Sadio Mané and nobody can take that away from us. Some I’s to cross and some T’s need to be dotted, perhaps, but we now know for certain that we’ve seen the last of Mané at Liverpool. It ended up not mattering, but Mané equalized against Wolves on the last day of the season. Mané got the best of us as well. It’s a calm finish amidst the chaos of last season’s title race. It’s what makes scenes of movies so griping or the chorus of a song so moving or the end of the chapter so intriguing. Mané leaves Liverpool to head to Germany having won every trophy he can at Liverpool. That was unthinkable when he joined in 2016. He was the signing that transformed Liverpool into the side we see today. They signal the end of a time before the beginning of one. It’s not particularly a surprise at this stage of proceedings, given the arrival of Darwin Núñez earlier this week.

But the club decided to refresh their front line while also taking a fee for Mané and giving him the chance to continue at the highest level on what’s likely to be an improved wage. Mané departs towards the end of his peak as a Liverpool player. With a year left on his Liverpool contract, meaning he would be available for foreign clubs to sign on a pre-contract for no transfer fee come January 2023, he would still have been good enough to give Liverpool a few more years of service. It was a huge fee that funded many of the best players in Liverpool’s current squad, including Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, but Mané was already there. In the grand scheme of things, a footballer’s peak is relatively short. As Mané departs for Munich, that’s no longer the case.

Mane departs as a Liverpool legend, with the club's blessing and deepest gratitude. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. The emotional bond for the trio within the squad, among staff and with the fanbase would also increase the difficulty of rejuvenation. A big sale would have neatly funded Liverpool's next phase, much like Philippe Coutinho's exit to Camp Nou had done. The Salah situation is the next conundrum to navigate, and while the threat of leaving on a free to a Premier League rival is regularly leaked from his end as a negotiating tactic, Liverpool remain calm over the present and future. The reason is simple: Evolution - on the player's behalf and Liverpool's. Mane was the first transformer of the Jürgen Klopp era and the club's successes over the past six years are owed in large part to his contributions on and off the ball.

He said: “Growing up, I remember looking at Man United and thinking what it would be like to be them going for league titles every year, Champions League trophies every year. His tender years would not only allow him to pick up the mantle left behind by Mane but also play a pivotal role in the Reds’ attack for a number of years to come. They moved to sign Mane’s potential replacement in the January transfer window with the arrival of FC Porto star Luis Diaz.

Sadio Mane is set to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich this summer.

The initial fee of £64m could rise to £85m if all add-ons are paid out. The former Reds defender said in a tweet: "My favourite Liverpool player of this era, Sadio Mane finally departs.

Jamie Carragher has posted a tribute to Sadio Mane amid reports he is set to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich.

He’s lived in the shadow of Mo Salah for a few years now and will relish the chance to be a team’s star man. Mané’s hard work on the pitch has drawn plaudits towards him for many a year now. Bayern fans will be looking forward to seeing what sort of return he can deliver in Germany. Off the back of a campaign where he was included in a very competitive Premier League Team of the Season, fans of the Bavarian club will be hoping Mané can carry on his strong form at his new home in East Germany.

He's won everything with Liverpool. I don't understand it, but money wise Bayern have offered him a massive contract and we move on. Let's see if he can deal with the price tag and the pressure of playing Liverpool, if he can he can be a top, top player for us.

While anything is possible, the odds are in favour of him tearing it up in the Premier League and providing us with some sizzling performances and super goals. Ramsay is, of course, an attacking, progressive right-back, was voted Scottish Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year and is a steal for that money. In the abandoned fairground that passes for some pundit minds, playing in Portugal is not playing in a top, top league, Jeff, therefore it will take him time to adjust to the rarified air of England’s top flight. He’s only ever had one red card, a second yellow in the Spanish second tier, so his temperament seems solid, though it has been suggested that he doesn’t like criticism, but who does? He has been out for a total of 164 days through injury and missed 17 games since 2019-20. Honestly, at times you’d think the goals were a different size, the pitches not made of grass and the ball a different shape in England and that foreigners don’t understand how different it is here. He scored 14 in 44 in the 2020-21 season but a mix of injuries and Covid led to him going four months without scoring. Can you imagine how scary it must be to have a man of his size sprinting at you? The sort of thinking that leads Dean Saunders to recently blart: “You don’t get any easy goals in the Premier League”. This is typical of this sort of mind-in-neutral nonsense, reflexively vaunting the league on a wholly fictional basis. This overlooks his first season at Benfica which was also very good, albeit interrupted by injury and illness and his successful formative season in the Spanish second division. Although right-footed, he can play on either side of a front three or through the middle. Everyone nodded sagely and celebrated the move with a custard tart.

The Saints do not receive any additional money from Mane’s move to Bayern Munich. That prompted responses from familiar faces within the game, with former Reds captain Steven Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Marcus Rashford and Declan Rice all sending birthday messages to the Liverpool captain. Bayern will pay an initial £27.4m for Mane and a further £7.7m in potential add-ons. One report from Sky Germany suggests Awoniyi has a "release clause of around €20m (£17m)" in his current contract. Liverpool only signed Diaz in January from the Portuguese club, in a £49m deal. The Reds themselves have been linked with Vieira in recent weeks. In a recent interview, Rodrygo spoke about how the Real Madrid players used Salah’s comments before the game as motivation. Jurgen Klopp and new sporting director Julian Ward have acted fast in the market in recent months when looking to acquire new signings. This summer has already seen big spending with Liverpool landing Darwin Nunez for a fee that could rise to as high as £85m, while Manchester City inked a deal for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland, meeting his £51m release clause and committing to a weekly wage not far off £400,000 per week. One player who has been heavily linked is Borussia Dortmund star, Bellingham. But a change in approach at Chelsea is likely, one that steers them away from an era of excess. The fee eclipses what the Reds paid Southampton for the forward back in 2016, with that deal proving to be worth £31m with a further £2.5m in add-ins.

One potential way to counter the 30-year-old’s steady decline is to return him to his former position, playing behind Núñez. For Firmino, the future might lie in the past. But what about the no.10 role? Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is, according to various reports, content to do without a new central midfielder in this transfer window. The club’s transfer policy might just have presented the Brazilian with an opportunity to breathe new life into his career, and make the case for a new contract ahead of the expiry of his deal in June 2023. But in a 4-2-3-1, he’d have the opportunity to make the no.10 spot his own.

The hope will be that, in Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, his input has already been replaced – but there is no doubting that, as Carragher attests, Mane departs a true Liverpool legend. Jamie Carragher has paid tribute to Sadio Mane ahead of his £35.1 million transfer to Bayern Munich, naming the Senegal forward as his “favourite Liverpool player.”
