Liverpool have reportedly set their asking price for forward Sadio Mane at around €50 million (£42.5 million) amid interest from Bayern Munich, according to The Athletic.
Sadio Mane's future at Anfield has come under doubt following the Reds' defeat in the Champions League final to Real Madrid. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Senegalese forward has decided to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window as he seeks a new challenge.
Bayern Munich are strong candidates to make an offer for the 30-year-old forward in the near future With reports of departure gaining pace, the Reds value him at around £42.5 million.
The aforementioned source has dismissed reports that a fee of around £25.5 million could be agreed. Liverpool would instead gamble on having Mane for the 2022-23 season and see him leave on a free transfer next summer.
Sadio Mane has been one of Jurgen Klopp's side's most important players this season. The former Southampton star was forced to transition from left wing to centre-forward mid-season after the arrival of Luis Diaz in the January transfer window.
Mane ended the 2021-22 season with 23 goals and five assists in 51 appearances for Liverpool across all competitions. The 30-year-old forward was the club's second-highest goalscorer behind Mohamed Salah (31 goals). Mane guided the Reds to the Carabao Cup and FA Cup triumphs this season.
As things stand, Sadio Mane has just one year remaining on his current contract. There has been no reported development in negotiations between the club and the player regarding a new deal.
Why do Bayern Munich need to sign Sadio Mane from Liverpool?
Bayern Munich possess one of the deadliest strikers in Europe in Robert Lewandowski. However, there have been a lot of reports linking him to an exit from the Allianz Arena this summer.
According to Bild, the Polish forward is wanted by Barcelona and the Blaugrana have even made an opening bid of €32 million. Lewandowski has also stated that it is tough for him to see himself at Bayern for the 2022-23 season. Speaking to Eleven Sports (via Barca Blaugranes), Lewandowski said:
“My future depends on several factors, I think my situation is clear and it makes no sense to talk about it. It is difficult to say I will play for Bayern next season.”
Bayern Munich therefore see Liverpool forward Sadio Mane as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The Senegalese forward's capabilties of playing across the front three could be of interest to the Bundesliga giants.
Similar to Sadio Mane, Lewandowski also has just one year remaining on his current contract at Bayern Munich.

the problem and reason behind Mane's determined request for Liverpool exit is coz of Salah's selfishness, setting himself ( Salah ) highest goal scorers target for personal glory which have caused Liverpool dearly more than seven trophies, please management of Liverpool should pray that Salah will not become Messi of Liverpool chapter
If Liverpool would’ve won the champions League then he would’ve most likely stayed, but since they lost his mind changed quickly and now has decided to leave.

how can salah be selfish when he has the most assist?
most assists doesn't matter...most goals doesn't matter....what matters is what he will do in certain games which is very important......they played selfish against villareal...and selfish against Tottenham.....he doesn't want to pass the ball to Diaz......in both game we saw that.....and lost the poin against Tottenham..... Did his assist help to win the league...nope....but if he just pass the ball in certain games result would have been different...

Salah is called selfish yet he had over 15 assists to his name in the recently concluded EPL season & amongst the highest in all Europe as against Mane's 5, isn't that a miracle🤔

There is nothing racist about Mane, don’t forget Fernando Torres, Suarez, Coutinho they all left. Players always move for greener pastures. Mane is making a big mistake he might fail to fit in like what Wanildum did at PSG

This shows you how our board is bad, how can Mane be Lewandowski replacement. Do you think players like Sane, Koman etc will be loyal to him, do you even think they'll allow him to take the penalties which he isn't that good in..
