# Liverpool: Sadio Mane exit ‘increasing’ in likelihood

**The likelihood of Sadio Mane leaving [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) this summer is ‘increasing’ all the time, according to fresh transfer reports.**

### The Lowdown: Mane expected to leave

The 30-year-old’s Reds adventure looks set to be coming to an end this summer, following a glittering six years at Anfield.

Mane has matured into one of the world’s best attacking players and he is thought to be looking for another big challenge before his best days are behind him.

Bayern Munich now look almost nailed-on to sign the Senegal forward, with the [Bundesliga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/bundesliga-news/) giants aiming to replace the [seemingly exit-bound](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10895715/Robert-Lewandowski-makes-public-plea-leave-Bayern-Munich-insists-not-selfish.html) Robert Lewandowski.

### The Latest: Mane transfer latest

According to reports from [Sport BILD](https://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bayern-muenchen/fc-bayern-das-haben-man-und-nagelsmann-am-telefon-besprochen-80368038.sport.html) and [Sky Sports Germany](https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/transfer-news-julian-nagelsmann-telefoniert-mit-sadio-mane/12631568/34099) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/club-keen-quick-agreement-sign-liverpool-player-chances-transfer-increasing/)\], the chances of Mane completing a move to Bayern are ‘increasing’ by the day.

Liverpool are ‘prepared to hand over’ the attacking superstar, with Darwin Nunez [seemingly coming in](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-fabrizio-romano-drops-key-darwin-nunez-update-transfer-mane-salah-ramsay-klopp/) as his direct replacement from Benfica.

### The Verdict: Only a matter of time

There is no surprise about this update, in truth, with Mane’s exit now looking almost inevitable considering that Nunez appears to be [closing in](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-darwin-nunez-move-could-be-completed-this-week-klopp-salah-mane-anfield/) on a big-money switch to Anfield.

It is hard to begrudge the Senegal legend a new challenge at this stage of his career, having given every ounce of quality and energy to the Reds since 2016, scoring [120 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/200512) and winning [six trophies](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/erfolge/spieler/200512) for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

In fact, Liverpool could end viewing this as a shrewd summer in the transfer market, with 22-year-old Nunez a much younger (and [hugely potent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darwin-nunez/leistungsdaten/spieler/546543)) option and 30-year-old Mane possibly past the absolute peak of his powers.
