In the past few days it has been reported that FC Bayern is interested in signing Sadio Mané.
The Liverpool star speaks out.
Munich – It is still uncertain whether Serge Gnabry will leave Bayern Munich.
However, sports director Hasan Salihamidžić has increased the pressure.
Gnabry is considered dissatisfied with the contract terms offered to him, Salihamidžić referred to the tense financial situation at Bayern.
It is therefore important for the record champions to look around for alternatives.

reported interest in Liverpool star Sadio Mané.
But is that even true and realistic?
Liverpool: Sadio Mané 'very, very happy'
Speaking to
Sky Sports UK
, Mané spoke meaningfully after the 2-1 win at Aston Villa.
"I try to enjoy every moment, scoring goals and providing assists for my teammates.
The team is the most important thing, without the team I'm nothing.
The guys make it easier for me.
I am very, very happy."

However, one also knows at Liverpool FC: Mané is 30 and no longer 23. In addition, according to
transfermarkt.de
, only three teams from the Premier League had a higher average age on the pitch this season.
At some point there will have to be a change and this has already been initiated with the commitments of Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.
Mané's contract runs until 2023. Liverpool are said to be currently focusing on extending Mohamed Salah's contract before extending Mané,

reports .
In any case, the statements of Africa's footballer of the year 2019 do not sound like a farewell: "I am very happy here.
When we win trophies, I'm even happier.” With the Reds he's in the final of the Champions League.
Sadio Mané: What qualities make the Liverpool striker desirable?
"He's an outstanding player.
This mix of physicality, commitment and technique is enormous - especially now that everyone has a lot of games in their bones.
A great goal, a fantastic, a world-class player,” said Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp after the win at Aston Villa.
Liverpool have become less predictable this season with the signing of Luis Diaz.
Mané was used not only as a left winger but also in the center.
FC Bayern: Conflicting reports about the counselor's meeting
As
Sky
further reports, there are no concrete negotiations between FC Bayern and the Klopp team.
However, the Munich team would have talked to the players.
The
Bild
newspaper denies even that. Hasan Salihamidžić did talk to Mané's advisor Björn Bezemer during his stay in Mallorca, but the Liverpool star himself is said not to have been an issue.
Meanwhile, Sport 1
reports that Mané “due to his advanced age” no longer fits the job profile of the Bayern bosses.
Bayern are interested instead in this season's standout Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig and 22-year-old Ajax striker Antony.
