Bayern Munich have been told by a club legend to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku alongside Liverpool star Sadio Mane.
The Reds forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions, amid talk of him wanting to leave Anfield. Reds sources insist Mane has not communicated his desire to leave - but they are braced for contact from Bayern as speculation in Germany intensifies over the 30-year-old.
Liverpool will demand more than €30m for Sadio Mane this summer and will only consider selling if a replacement is sourced. The Senegalese international is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract.

HAVE YOUR SAY: What do Liverpool need this summer?
The ECHO understands that Liverpool will want a sum in excess of the fee of £25.5m (€30m) that has been reported across German media over the past week.
Others who have been linked with a move are Bayern duo Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry. And club legend Lothar Matthaus has told the German club to sign Mane and Lukaku this summer as replacements for the two players.
“I would sign Romelu Lukaku if a deal was economically feasible,” Bayern legend Matthaus told BILD.
“Lukaku and Mane for Lewandowski and Gnabry, if Serge were to leave the club – that would have quality and charisma.
“With this attack, Bayern wouldn’t have to hide from any team.”
