Setback for FC Bayern in the tug-of-war over their potential “king transfer” Sadio Mané: According to media reports, Liverpool FC also rejected the second, improved offer from Munich – with hearty words.
Deal more complicated than expected: Liverpool also rejected FC Bayern’s second offer, as reported by The Times. The English would probably only have gotten the 35 million euros transfer fee offered by Munich through additional bonuses if the Senegalese had won the “Ballon d’Dor” in the next three years. The base sum is said to have been 29 million – too little for Anfield.
Short, compact, clear
Liverpool rejects new offer: This improved offer is said to have upset Liverpool FC. Julian Ward, Liverpool’s new sporting director, instead calls for 50 million euros as a basis for negotiations – no one needs to appear in Liverpool for serious negotiations beforehand. The previous offers are “ridiculous”, according to the Anfield officials.
Personal meeting? On Wednesday, Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic got through plans to personally clarify his “king transfer” Mané this week in Liverpool together with CEO Oliver Kahn. Bayern had hoped for a concession because Munich had quietly sold Thiago to Liverpool two years ago for a ridiculous price of 22 million euros.
