Sadio Mané Speaks About Bayern Munich Move (The Liverpool Offside)

The Senegalese powerhouse thrived for six years on Merseyside as part of Jürgen Klopp's now famous front three of him, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah.

Considering both clubs’ European successes, it will be no surprise if he returned to Anfield playing for the other team. Images leaked Tuesday of him in Munich completing the last stages of his transfer. Neither club has confirmed the deal yet, but at this point it’s a formality with Liverpool already buying Darwin Núñez to replace him in Liverpool’s attack.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich are regular visitors to the latter stages of the competition, having each won it six times: Salah vs Mané for a seventh would be a tantalising narrative. Having signed Mané for £34m way back in 2016, Liverpool will be satisfied to make their money back on a player who is now six years older, with a contract that runs out next year. Sadio Mané was in Munich today to begin his Bayern medical, ahead of the formalisation of a transfer that will see the famous Liverpool ‘fab three’ broken up once and for all. Liverpool will hope to prevent Bayern from winning the Champions League, but any money tied to league performance might as well be guaranteed. The most laughable clause was one that required Mané to win the Ballon d'Or for the next three seasons — something that his predecessor Lewandowski has almost certainly already prevented from happening. In his final months at Liverpool, Mané got a new lease of life as a centre-forward.

He built a £250,000 public secondary school in the village. He visited the hospital that he financed at a cost of £455,000. He has earned a fortune during his professional career.

Mane has become one of the best players in the world at Liverpool.

And after seeing their two opening bids roundly rejected, the German champions finally reached an agreement on a deal which will see them initially outlay £27.1million for the Senegalese talisman. His move brings to an end a glittering six-year stint at Anfield which has seen him lift almost every honour available to him.

For me it was the right club at the right time,” Mane told German publication Bild. Thomas Tuchel is keen to sign a new striker now that Romelu Lukaku seems destined to rejoin Inter Milan on loan.

The 30-year-old's deal with the Reds was going to expire in 2023. Sadio Mane has explained his decision to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich in his first interview since arriving in Germany. The forward was pictured in a Bayern shirt for the first time with his transfer set to be formally announced imminently.

Romelu Lukaku is off again after failing to settle at Chelsea. Meanwhile, Sadio Mane leaves Liverpool a legend.

The piece about Bellingham and Liverpool has to be the weirdest article I’ve ever seen on your site. As someone with no connection to Liverpool and born in 1992, it was an eye-opening read. The first is the reaction to Sadio Mane leaving Liverpool for more money. As a Liverpool fan, I agree with one of the things I really liked about him was his complete sh**housery and edge to him. There are also laughable comparisons to Barca, Real, Sir Alex…All of which at least made the article come across as parody. He smashed shots like he hated the ball, hated the net and hated the goal-keeper. For Liverpool though a refreshing of the forward line has been slowly happening with the signings of Jota, Diaz and now Nunez. Will they be as good as the previous front three? Like, what the hell was the point? Good to see Sadio Mane get the credit he deserves from rival fans in the mailbox, he is a fantastic pro and top-class player and has done so much for Liverpool over the years and been a huge part in winning the trophies we have over the last few seasons. However I also feel comments such as Ryan’s saying he was the Liverpool player they feared the most a bit disingenuous as it’s only because he is leaving that rival fans believe him to be our most dangerous player. Farewell to a true Liverpool legend Sadio Mane is the best. Now it is happening it does feel like a bit of a loss.

Sadio Mane decision could give Liverpool exit boost as £85m ... (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool need all the depth they can get but perhaps it is time for Oxlade-Chamberlain to move on if it would help raise funds for another acquisition. Find the answer to how to make that happen, and maybe Liverpool don’t need a midfielder after all. Missing out on a player like Aurelien Tchouameni was a shame especially as Liverpool were rumoured to be interested in the Frenchman. Of course Nunez will be the marquee signing with a lot of expectation, while Carvalho and Ramsay are slightly under the radar acquisitions. Mane won it all for Liverpool and if he wanted a new challenge, the club would have been wrong to deny him that. So step in Darwin Nunez, the first out and out striker that Klopp has signed makes a big statement ahead of next season.

Lee requested that he kissed his hand and pointed skywards, in memory of his late grandfather. And all the time, there was a superb, line-leading No.9 just waiting to be unleashed. Both have zoomed past 100 Liverpool goals, and both shared the Premier League Golden Boot award in 2019. There were 15 matches in which all three netted, including memorable victories over Manchester City and Roma in 2018, and most recently the 5-0 win at Watford last October. Throw in his heroics for Senegal and the picture becomes clear. Nobody in Liverpool’s history has scored more goals in Champions League knockout ties than he has. The away end bounced like never before. Liverpool went on to win 3-1, Mane finishing the scoring with a close-range header. But against their top-four rivals - Spurs were second at the time - Mane ensured they got back on track. But 26 minutes in, Virgil van Dijk sent a ball over the top and Mane did the rest. One of his most important came against Tottenham in February 2017. Mane’s record in derbies was good.
