FC Bayern seems to have more than one eye on Liverpool star Sadio Mané.
Jürgen Klopp comments for the first time.
Paris – Jürgen Klopp does not have to win the Champions League a second time – they will probably build a statue for him in Liverpool one way or another.
Of course he still wants the title.
On Saturday evening (9 p.m.) he has the chance to make himself immortal on the island twice and three times: His Liverpool FC meets Real Madrid in the Stade de France.
From a German point of view, one question should not be missing at the press conference before the grand finale: What's going on between Sadio Mané and FC Bayern?
Klopp spoke for the first time on Friday about the hotly debated future of his top striker.
"It's the wrong moment to talk about it.
Wherever he plays next season, he will be a great player," said the Black Forester.
Sadio Mané to FC Bayern?
Klopp: "Not the first time"
He couldn't resist a sentence about Bayern's interest: "It's not the first time in my career that rumors about Bayern Munich have surfaced shortly before a crucial game." The former BVB coach alludes to the transfer of Mario Götze, leaked shortly before the German CL final between Dortmund and Bayern and caused bad blood.

So now a similar situation with Mané, even if things are not nearly as advanced.
Even the Senegalese himself didn't want to say anything concrete before the last game of the season.
However, he announced: "I will answer the questions about my future after the Champions League final."
FC Bayern: Discussions with Mané advisors on Mallorca?
According to reports from Sky and
Bild
, there is said to have been a first meeting between Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and Mané consultant Björn Bezemer in Mallorca.
The people of Munich are said to have chosen the 30-year-old as the king's transfer for the summer.
Exciting: Mané is a customer of the consulting agency "ROOF", which also looks after Serge Gnabry and Leipzig professional Konrad Laimer.
Talks are currently underway with Gnabry about a possible contract extension (and rather slowly), Laimer is said to be a dream player for coach Julian Nagelsmann.
So the wires are short.
But Klopp leaves it all - at least publicly - cold.
“Sadio is in the form of his life, a joy to watch.
I couldn't care less about the Bayern rumors at the moment."
