# Liverpool: Reds reject Bayern Munich’s bid for Sadio Mane

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) have rejected Bayern Munich’s opening £21m bid for Sadio Mane, according to reliable journalist Paul Joyce.**

### The Lowdown: Mane leaving Liverpool?

After six years at Anfield, it looks as though the Senegal forward will be departing before the start of next season as he looks for a fresh challenge.

The 30-year-old has been one of the true modern greats for Liverpool, [scoring 120 goals in 269 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512/verein/31), along with [winning](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/erfolge/spieler/200512) the Champions League and [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Bayern are the clear [favourites](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-journalist-drops-sadio-mane-to-bayern-munich-claim/) to sign Mane this summer, and an official bid has now been tabled from the German champions.

### The Latest: Liverpool reject Bayern bid for Mane

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1533561709096488962?s=20&t=hfbvxGe_A_yv-vxFmDkrAQ) late on Sunday night, Joyce confirmed that the Bundesliga giants have seen their first bid turned down by the Reds. He revealed:

> “Liverpool have turned down Bayern Munich’s opening bid for Sadio Mane. It was for £21m guaranteed, plus £4m in add-ons payable if, for example, Bayern won the Champions League.”

### The Verdict: Ridiculously low offer

Frankly, for Bayern to expect such a low bid for Mane to be accepted is bordering on ludicrous, considering the forward’s current standing in the game.

He has been [described](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/04/sadio-mane-equals-didier-drogba-record-as-klopp-hails-world-class-striker/) as ‘world-class’ by Jurgen Klopp in the past and is still one of the foremost attacking players in Europe, having netted [23 goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109915/Show/Sadio-Man%C3%A9) in 2021/22.

If Bayern want to get their man, they will have to pay a far bigger amount than £21m, with Liverpool needing to remain stubborn in the coming weeks and demand a fee which is much more indicative of Mane’s phenomenal abilities.
