Sadio Mane has left Liverpool for Bayern Munich in a €41 million (£35 million/$43 million) transfer.
The 30-year-old told the Reds that he wanted to leave after they lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in May, and as Mane still had one year remaining on his deal, they decided to let him go now rather than take the chance of losing him for nothing in the summer of 2023.
After 120 goals in 269 appearances for Liverpool during his time there, Mane’s exit ends an incredibly successful run for the Senegal international in English football.

How Much Will Sadio Mane Cost Bayern Munich?
Liverpool will pay a set fee of €32m (£27m/$34m) for Mane, with a further €6m (£5m/$6m) available based on appearances and another €3m contingent on individual and team achievements.
Liverpool has sold the winger for more than the £33.5 million (€39 million/$40 million) they paid to sign him from Southampton in 2016, but for Bayern, it represents a significant transaction during the transfer window.
What Is Mane’s Contract Length And Pay At Bayern?
Mane has committed to a three-year deal with Bayern, keeping him with the Bundesliga champions until the 2025 summer.
According to reports, he will make roughly €15 million per year, making him one of the top paid earners at the Allianz Arena.
What Has Been Said About Mane’s Transfer To Bayern Munich?
“I’m very happy to finally be with FC Bayern in Munich,” Mane told the club’s website. We had a lot of talks and I felt the great interest of this big club from the start. So there was no doubt in my mind right from the start: this is the right time for this challenge.
“I want to achieve a lot with this club, also internationally. During my time in Salzburg I followed many FC Bayern games – I like this club very much!”
