Sadio Mané could soon be a Bayern Munich striker.
Robert Lewandowski, on the other hand, is drawn to Barcelona.
Both deals are not fixed yet.
Munich – Liverpool and FC Bayern are still playing poker for the transfer of Sadio Mané (30/contract until 2023).
But at least the successor to the Senegalese star striker has already been determined.
FC Bayern: Mané transfer more and more likely – Liverpool have already brought his successor
The English have signed Darwin Núñez (22) from Benfica.
The fixed fee for the Uruguay international, who has a contract until 2028, is 75 million euros.
Including bonus payments, the package can increase to up to 100 million euros.
Crazy!
But good for Bayern.
Because of the mega deal, Liverpool's farewell to the crowd's favorite Mané, who is willing to emigrate, is becoming more and more likely.
The flexible attacker, who was mainly used as a center forward in the second half of last season, is said to have largely agreed on a three-year contract with Bayern.
But there is still a problem with the fee.
The second offer from the German record champions is said to have been guaranteed for 27.5 million euros plus a performance-related bonus of 7.5 million euros.
Liverpool are demanding around 50 million euros.
The amount that the clubs agree on should be somewhere in between.
The talks are ongoing.
According to the English newspaper
The Telegraph
, those involved are hoping for a speedy solution.
Sadio Mane: Senegal's national coach Cissé advises him to switch to Bayern
With a view to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in winter, Senegal team boss Aliou Cissé (46) also advises his national players to clarify any uncertainties about the future before the start of the coming season.
He advises Mané to move to Munich.
"I think the club where he would feel most comfortable is Bayern," said Cissé.
His reasoning: "For me, this is a club that corresponds to his standing.
Bayern stands for intensity and pressing football with a German coach.” (Overview of all Bayern coaches).
FC Bayern wants Mané – Munich would be “not unknown territory” for the striker
Cissé also sees it positively that the current Africa Cup of Nations winner played for Red Bull Salzburg between 2012 and 2014.
“Sadio played in neighboring Austria.
That means he's not entering unfamiliar territory," said the Senegal coach.

Mané moved from Southampton FC to Liverpool FC in 2016 for a fee of 41.2 million euros.
In 269 competitive games for the Reds, he scored 120 goals and prepared 48 goals.
In 2019 he won the Champions League under coach Jürgen Klopp (54), followed by the Premier League title in 2020.
From the coming season he should lead FC Bayern to national and international success with coach Julian Nagelsmann (34), with whom Mané is said to have already spoken on the phone.

FC Bayern: Barca continue to dig at Robert Lewandowski
While those responsible in Munich continue to work on the Mané deal, FC Barcelona is again digging on Robert Lewandowski (33).
The super striker is desperate to join the Catalans.
Conversely, the Barça stars want the Poles as future teammates.
"Of course I would like to have Robert Lewandowski on my team," emphasized midfielder Frenkie de Jong (25) after the Nations League game between the Netherlands and Poland (2-2) on Saturday.
"He's a great player, one of the best in the world.
It's up to him.”

Not quite true.
Because FC Bayern has the reins in their hands, the club bosses always refer to Lewy's contract, which is valid until 2023.
A 32 million offer from FC Barcelona was not enough.
Affordable and approximately equivalent replacement is currently not in sight.
