Liverpool have agreed to sell Sadio Mane to Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, for a deal worth £35 million.

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

Mane joined Liverpool for £32.5  million from Southampton in 2016.

Since then, Mane has scored 90 Premier League goals for the Anfield club and finished last season with 23 goals in all competitions.

The Senegalese forward has been an exceptional in 2022, winning the  the Africa Cup of Nations with his country, before helping Liverpool win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. He also helped Liverpool  finish runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League.

Mane is expected to replace Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich, with the Poland international being linked with a move to Spanish giants, Barcelona.

Liverpool have recalibrated in the  their attack in the last two years, with the acquisition of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
