Reports: Bayern Munich target Liverpool forward Sadio Mane

Germany machines Bayern Munich are reportedly plotting a summer swoop for Liverpool forward Sadio Mane, according to Sky Germany.

While there has been no official dialogue between the two clubs, Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic met the 30-year-old’s agent over the weekend. 

Mane is under contract at Anfield until 2023, but talks over a possible new deal have not been forthcoming, with Liverpool said to be focussing on tying up negotiations with Mo Salah.

After the 2-2 win against Stuttgart on Sunday evening, Salihamidzic said when asked whether there would be a transfer cracker at Bayern: “Let yourself be surprised. 

“We have to see what is possible and what is not. We have creative ideas.”

Mane’s current deal at Liverpool is set to expire in 2023.
