Bayern would pay a set £27.5 million, and a further £5 million contingent on performance. The Bundesliga club would pay an additional £2.5 million dependent on group performance.
Liverpool to transfer Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich for up to £35 million
The fee exceeds what Liverpool spent for Mane (£31 million + £2.5 million in add-ons), with Southampton receiving no more compensation.
Mane has been instrumental in the club’s success over the last six seasons and will leave with the club’s blessing and thanks.
Liverpool have been cognizant of the necessity to evolve their team without emotion as a motivator. and have successfully rebalanced their attack with the additions of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Nunez.
After receiving a firm agreement from the Senegal international this month, Bayern has been optimistic of signing him. They anticipated it would allow them to negotiate a low-cost transaction, particularly given the Nunez development.
The Bundesliga heavyweights also mentioned their’soft’ discussions with Liverpool for Thiago. saying they would sell the midfielder for an initial £20 million with a potential £5 million in add-ons.
Mane’s upcoming departure was revealed while the Senegal star marched across his homeland. And returned to play football on a muddy field in his hometown of Bambaly. Former Senegalese internationals Papiss Cisse and El-Hadji Diouf also played in the game, which was watched by a big audience.
Mane’s career had been somewhat secondary to Salah’s until the last weeks of the season, despite the fact that he, too, was heading into the final year of his contract at Anfield.
It’s a common scenario. Mane, while beloved by Liverpool fans, receives barely a fraction of the recognition and recognition accorded to his teammate. It’s been like way since the Egyptian’s arrival in 2017, a year after his.
