Bayern Munich CEO and sporting director ‘ready to travel to Liverpool to negotiate Sadio Mane transfer personally’

BAYERN MUNICH are ready to send representatives to Liverpool to negotiate a deal to sign Sadio Mane after they saw a second bid rejected.

The Senegalese winger is believed to want a move away from the Reds.

Bayern had an opening bid of £21million rejected before they put in a second bid that had been increased by £2.5m and included extra add-ons from £2.5m to £6.5m.

However, this offer was deemed 'laughable' by Liverpool officials due to the nature of the bonuses.

The Reds are demanding £30million for Mane and Bayern would have to win the Champions League in THREE consecutive seasons to reach that figure under the terms of the second bid.

According to , the Bundesliga champions are ready to further step up their interest by sending sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic to Merseyside to discuss terms in person.

Their CEO Oliver Kahn could also make the trip to carry out 'concrete negotiations.'

Liverpool's sporting director Julian Ward has reportedly been in close contact with Salihamidzic already.

It has been claimed that Mane, 30, has already agreed personal terms with Julian Nagelsmann's side.

And Liverpool are not expected to block Mane's potential move away if they receive the fee they desire.

During his time at Anfield, the ex-Southampton man has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup.

He has featured 269 times scoring 120 goals in his six-year stay.

Mane has just one year left on his contract but appear to have already found a replacement after the brilliant impact of Luis Diaz.

Jurgen Klopp will want to keep his squad depth so they could make a move for Benfica's Darwin Nunez, Leeds' Raphinha or Rennes' Martin Terrier.

The arrival of Mane in Bavaria could trigger them to sell Serge Gnabry.
