Liverpool and
Bayern Munich have agreed terms over the transfer of Sadio Mane, Football flame understands.
The Senegal forward
will now undergo a medical ahead of his switch to the Allianz Arena and an
official announcement could be made before the end of the week.
Mane confirmed his
intentions to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2021/22 season and German
champions Bayern immediately showed a keen interest, but their first two offers
for the 30-year-old were almost instantly rejected.
But the two clubs
have now agreed on a package that will total somewhere just below Liverpool’s
initial £40m asking price, with Bayern stumping up roughly an extra £15m from
their first offer.
Mane spoke with the
Reds hierarchy on Friday ahead of their scheduled meeting with Bayern and
agreed to waive his own potential earnings from the deal in order for an
agreement to be finalised as soon as possible.
A move to Germany
will bring an end to Mane’s memorable six-year stay at Anfield, during which
time he won every major honour available to him as well as several individual
awards, including the 2018/19 Premier League Golden Boot.
