As Sadio Mane leaves Liverpool after six glorious seasons, the future of one of his new teammates is sure to be of interest to Jurgen Klopp as he evolves his own strike force.
That's because Bayern Munich Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidžić has spoken about the future of winger Serge Gnabry, who is believed to be a player of interest to Jurgen Klopp, with one report earlier this month claiming that talks had been held with the winger.
Whereas Mane will cost the Bavarian club up to £35million with potential add-ons, Bayern's 26-year-old German international can leave for free at the end of next season when his current contract expires.

Speaking to SkyDe about the situation (as per Fabrizio Romano ), Salihamidžić said: "We really want to keep him. I hope that he chooses Bayern. If a player doesn't want to decide for the club, then we can find a solution that makes everyone happy."
Gnabry scored 21 goals last season in 53 appearances for club and country, including a hat-trick against Stuttgart on December 14. Liverpool have already made significant moves to update their feared front trio, with the January acquisition of Luis Diaz and the bumper deal for Benfica goal-getter Darwin Nunez.
A move for Gnabry on a free transfer would be a serious proposition for Klopp as the new contract situations of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino remain unresolved. The German international played for Arsenal between 2012-2016 and has also been linked with a return to the Emirates, but is likely to want to continue playing Champions League football.
