# Liverpool: Florian Plettenberg drops big Sadio Mane claim

**Sadio Mane has made progress regarding a summer move from [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) to Bayern Munich, according to reliable journalist Florian Plettenberg.**

### The Lowdown: Mane to leave Liverpool

On Sunday, numerous journalists [reported](https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1530899837255921665?s=20&t=NQm_YAvRLMsFq68bW5JJRA) the big news that the Senegal star is set to leave the Reds this summer, having spent six memorable years at Anfield.

The 30-year-old is believed to be keen on a fresh challenge while he is still at his peak, with Bayern Munich seemingly the [front-runners](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-journalist-drops-sadio-mane-to-bayern-munich-claim/) to snap him up.

A fresh claim further suggests that a move to the Bundesliga could be on the cards for Mane.

### The Latest: Plettenberg provides Mane transfer update

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Plettigoal/status/1530918378835169280?s=20&t=vewR1uTfEjbSrZNkqNFftQ) on Sunday, [Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/SkySportDE) journalist Plettenberg talked up the chances of Mane joining Bayern, claiming that talks are ongoing between player and club. The reporter tweeted:

> “Update #Mané: Talks and negotiations with #FCBayern ongoing and confirmed. All parties speak about a possible 3-y-c until 2025 and a transfer fee of around €30m + Bonus. Agreement is possible.”

### The Verdict: Undisputed Liverpool legend

While it is hugely sad to see Mane move on, it is hard to begrudge him one last big move in his career, much in the same way that Thiago opted to trade Bayern for Liverpool at a similar age in 2020.

There is no doubt that the Senegalese superstar is a true Anfield legend, having won [every trophy possible](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/erfolge/spieler/200512) in his time at the club, also [scoring 120 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512/verein/31) in 269 Reds appearances.

He should be remembered as one of the greatest attacking players in the club’s history, proving to be Jurgen Klopp’s first great signing at Liverpool and hitting the ground running from day one, when he [scored a stunning goal](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37001073) at Arsenal on his debut in a 4-3 win which ultimately proved crucial in getting the Reds back into the Champions League as they [pipped the Gunners for fourth place](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/tabelle/wettbewerb/GB1/saison_id/2016) that season.
