# Liverpool: Journalist provides key Sadio Mane ‘update’

**Sadio Mane has ‘made it clear’ that he wants to join Bayern Munich from [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) this summer, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.**

### The Lowdown: Mane on the move

The Senegalese sensation has enjoyed six legendary years at Anfield, winning all there is to win and being [hailed](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/05/hes-a-machine-klopp-and-henderson-praise-brutal-match-winner-sadio-mane/) as a ‘machine’ by Jurgen Klopp.

In a sad turn of events, however, Mane looks almost certain to be on the move this summer, as he looks for a fresh challenge before his prime years run out.

With Liverpool reportedly [on the verge](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-darwin-nunez-move-could-be-completed-this-week-klopp-salah-mane-anfield/) of signing Darwin Nunez from Benfica, that only heightens the chances of the 30-year-old moving on to pastures new.

### The Latest: Plettenberg provides update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1535296314875039744?s=20&t=NQC9iIUHVBRK71g7KWDDWA), Plettenberg shared an ‘update’ – Mane sees his future at Bayern and Bayern alone:

> “Update Mane: Bayern spoke to him and he had a positive phone call with Nagelsmann. Mané made clear that he wants to join FCBayern! Bayern was impressed that Mané doesn’t have airs & graces. He made clear that he would do his best on every position.”

### The Verdict: All but a done deal

This feels like a matter of time now, with Mane’s decision made up and Bayern clearly seeing the forward as one of their primary summer transfer targets.

While losing the African superstar is a blow in many ways, it could be argued that he is now ever so slightly past his peak and that Liverpool are selling a good time, receiving a hefty fee for his services after already getting his best years.

The hope is that Nunez comes in and fills the Mane-shaped void immediately, proving to be a worthy successor to him, not to mention being eight years his junior.
