Bayern Munich have reached an agreement with Liverpool for the transfer of Senegal Star Sadio Mane. 

Bayern Munich secure a deal below Liverpool’s £42.5m valuation of forward Sadio Mane, having already had two offers turned down; 30-year-old forward about to enter final year of Anfield contract.

Bayern will pay an initial £27.5m with a further £5m based on appearance. The Bundesliga club will pay another £2.5m based on individual and team achievements.

The deal eclipses what Liverpool paid for Mane – £31m plus £2.5m in add-ons – with Southampton not getting any additional money.

Mane has been core to the club’s success over the past six seasons so will depart with their blessing and gratitude.

During his six year stay in Merseyside, Mane has scored 120 goals in 269 appearances.
