Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane is set to join Bayern Munich after the German champions reached a $43 million agreement with Liverpool.

In 269 appearances for the club, he scored 120 goals and assisted 48. Mané told Liverpool of his desire to leave soon after the Champions League final and made Bayern his preferred destination. Mané is the second first-team forward to leave Anfield, after Divock Origi, who was a far more peripheral figure and is due in Milan next week to sign for the Serie A champions.

The most impressive thing, though, is that Liverpool and Klopp have done that with an overlap without any drop-off. Mané was the first 'transformational' Liverpool player that Klopp signed at Anfield, but plenty more have followed and will continue to do so. A third bid has not yet been put to Liverpool but that seems likely to come fairly quickly — and it will surely show a little more common sense than the previous two.

According to reports Liverpool and Bayern Munich have finally agreed on a transfer fee for Senegalese star Sadio Mane.

It is understood that Barcelona are trying to sign him. The Bundesliga champions are in danger of losing star striker Robert Lewandowski themselves, with the Poland international having declared his desire to leave in this window. Since the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League final, it had been reported that the 30-year-old forward wanted to end his six-year stint with the Reds, and now it seems Mane will receive his wish.

Mane will become Bayern's third signing of the close season following the arrivals of Ajax Amsterdam duo Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazrouai. The Senegal international's arrival proved to be transformative as his blend of pace, trickery and work off the ball guided Liverpool to Champions League qualification in his very first season. Mane will leave Anfield after 269 appearances, having scored 120 goals in all competitions, a stellar return that helped the club to the Champions League title in 2018-19 and the Premier League crown a season later.

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.

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.

JURGEN KLOPP has seen his advice ignored by Sadio Mane as he closes in on a move to Bayern Munich.

Like the Coutinho saga, Liverpool do not want to lose one their man, but they received the third biggest fee of all time for the Brazilian, and they're being paid well for Mane too. But in Europe it could be a very different story, although that may not be his drive. Mane expressed a desire to start a 'new challenge' after Liverpool lost in the Champions League final to Real Madrid, and his wishes should be respected. Coutinho is the other high profile star to break away from Klopp's journey, and unfortunately for the Brazilian he left prematurely and missed out on every single trophy possible. But Mane leaves the club knowing how it turned out for Philippe Coutinho after he was warned by Klopp. Bayern Munich look set to finally meet Liverpool's £42.5million valuation for Sadio Mane, which means his days at the club are numbered.

It is a tactic that has not yet born fruit for any of the club's succession of managers since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. We’ve got to enjoy the game for as long as we can because it won’t last forever.” The Uruguayan arrives at Anfield at just 22 years of age but with a lethal reputation behind him as a result of a 34-goal season with the Portuguese giants. 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.

The reason is simple: Evolution - on the player's behalf and Liverpool's.

The same as Luis Suarez. You have to be at one club, for a particular length of time to be mentioned in the same light. "At the end of his career, if he said to you 'come and look at my trophy cabinet', the German league winners medal will be right at the back." But Saunders still hopes that Mane will come to his senses and remain on Merseyside, with Liverpool driving a hard bargain and forcing the Bundesliga giants to stump up £35.1 million for his signature.
