Sadio Mane trophies

All good things must come to an end. So it comes to pass for Sadio Mane and his trophy-laden career at Liverpool. News broke this week that Liverpool has accepted Bayern Munich’s third bid for the Senegalese sensation. After giving impeccable service to the Merseyside club, the brass at Anfield granted Mane’s wish to explore new opportunities. The Reds drove a hard bargain though, selling Mane to the German giants for £35 million.

Bayern and Mane were making eyes at each other immediately following the Champions League final. With Sadio Mane’s contract expiring in just twelve months, it seemed Liverpool didn’t have a leg to stand on. That certainly wasn’t the case. Liverpool rejected Bayern’s opening two bids out of hand.

June 6, 2022 By Leave a Comment

One of the best things about the summer transfer window is the domino theory. One player move leads to his now former club finding a replacement, and then that replacement player needing to be replaced, and so on and so on.

Which leads us to today’s hot transfer rumor- Chelsea man Christian Pulisic is wanted by Liverpool, as a potential replacement for Sadio Mane. Bayern Munich is the front-runner destination for Mane, who is expected to replace the goals that will be missing now that Robert Lewandowski is shipping out.

Where Next for Robert Lewandowski?

June 2, 2022 By Leave a Comment

While his current club aren’t keen to admit it, Robert Lewandowski has made it clear that his time at Bayern Munich is up. At the age of 33 and after 12 years in the Bundesliga, the prolific Polish striker is ready for a new challenge.

He may be reaching the end of his career but there is no shortage of interest in a player who has scored 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern. That’s an incredible record but who is most likely to land this spectacular centre forward?

Sadio Mane Leaving Liverpool, Bayern Munich a Potential Destination

May 29, 2022 By Leave a Comment

Last night was indeed the final time that we’ll see Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah playing together. The dynamic duo of scoring sensations will be broken up next season as Mane has told his teammates he’s headed out the Anfield exit door. That’s according to multiple outlets, all over the world, including transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
