Sadio Mane ‘leaning towards Bayern Munich transfer and Liverpool exit with Champions League final set to be farewell’
SADIO MANE is leaning towards a move to Bayern Munich next season, German media say.
The forward's Liverpool contract expires next summer, leading to speculation over his future.
It is stated the Senegal international fancies a new challenge and could say his goodbyes after the Champions League final.
Liverpool play Real Madrid on Saturday in Paris, a rematch of their defeat to the Spaniards in 2018.
Mane threw his Anfield future into doubt after refusing to commit himself to signing a new deal.
He told Sky Sports: "I will answer this question after the Champions League."
Strike partner Mo Salah, 29, is also entering the final year of his contract but he made plans to stay very clear.
Salah said: "I'm staying next season for sure."

Both Salah and Mane are expected to start in Saturday's Champions League final.
And exacting revenge on Carlo Ancelotti's Spanish champions is Salah's sole focus.
He said: "I don't focus on the contract at the moment. It's about the team.
"It's a really important week for us. I want to win the Champions League again.
"I want to see Hendo [Jordan Henderson] with that trophy in his hands again."
