Sadio Mane Completes Bayern Munich Move, Says He Loves The Club So Much
Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Sadio Mane from Liverpool in a deal worth up to £35m.
The 30-year-old has signed a contract with the German champions until 2025.
Bayern will pay Liverpool an initial £27.5m with a further £5m based on appearances and will pay another £2.5m based on individual and team achievements.
The deal eclipses what Liverpool paid for Mane – £31m plus £2.5m in add-ons – with Southampton not getting any additional money.
Mane had just one year remaining on his contract at Anfield and departs following the club-record signing of Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica.
He departs Merseyside having made 269 appearances in all competitions since joining from Southampton in 2016, during which he scored 120 goals and registered 48 assists.
In his six years at Anfield, he won the Premier League, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.

Sadio Mane has revealed he had “no doubts” about leaving Liverpool to join Bayern, having followed the club during his time at Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg.
He said: “I’m very happy to finally be with FC Bayern in Munich. We had a lot of talks and I felt a great interest in this big club from the start.
“So there was no doubt in my mind right from the start: This is the right time for this challenge. I want to achieve a lot with this club, and also internationally.
“During my time in Salzburg I followed many FC Bayern games – I like this club very much!”
