Bayern Munich told Sadio Mane 'price' as Liverpool in 'frequent talks' to sign £13m midfielder

The 2021/22 season came to an end over the weekend after Liverpool were defeated 1-0 in the Champions League final by Real Madrid.

It wasn't the ending people hoped for, but the message is one of defiance as attention has already turned to next season and the intention to go again. Transfers will no doubt play a key role in how much the Reds will be able to compete next term.

The Fabio Carvalho deal has already been announced, but there's set to be more movement over the summer in terms of incomings and outgoings. Divock Origi has confirmed his departure following the expiration of his contract.

With that being said, here's a round-up of all the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours from around the globe.

Who?

Sadio Mane

Where?

The Athletic

What?

A transfer story that will likely dominate the headlines this summer involves Liverpool winger Sadio Mane. The Echo understands as of Sunday afternoon, the player had not expressed his desire to leave but the club are braced for contact from Bayern Munich.

A report in The Athletic suggests Anfield officials have dismissed suggestion a deal could be done for the figures being spoken about in Germany (£25.5 million). They suggest a figure much closer to €50 million (£42.5 million) will be needed.

The Echo also understand Liverpool have made it clear they will demand over £40m and will need to line up a suitable replacement before agreeing to part ways with a player that has been so integral to their success in recent years.

Who?

Aurelien Tchouameni

Where?

Foot Mercato

What?

Real Madrid have 'offered' over €80 million in order to sign Liverpool target Aurelien Tchouameni, according to reports.

Recent claims suggested the player had already made the decision to move to the Bernabeu over Anfield, but a deal hinged on Madrid meeting Monaco's high asking price. Now, according to French outlet Foot Mercato, the Champions League winners have offered a fee that exceeds €80 million.

The report adds that both Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool remain in the hunt, but Real Madrid are certainly stepping up their efforts. Although the threat to a deal is said to come from Paris as the Ligue 1 giants are reportedly pushing to sign the player.

Who?

Eric Ramires

Where?

Liverpool have 'entered the race' to sign Red Bull Bragantino midfielder Eric Ramires, according to reports.

Rumours suggested Merseyside rivals Everton were keen on the player, but a report from Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola says it is in fact Liverpool that are in discussion with Ramires.

The article adds that Bragantino officials have dismissed any suggestion there were talks with Everton, but that Liverpool have been in 'frequent contact' regarding the 21-year-old.

It is claimed talks have taken place and Bragantino have slapped a £13m price-tag on their prospect.
