Jurgen Klopp wanted to punch himself before apologising to Sadio Mane in Liverpool transfer talks

Sadio Mane looks set to leave Bayern Munich this summer, but there is no suggestion of the Senegalese completing a return to Liverpool.

Having won everything there was to win at Anfield, the 31-year-old called time on his Reds career last year in favour of a £35m switch to Bavaria. But while he would win the Bundesliga title in his first season in Germany, his maiden campaign ultimately proved to be disappointing.

The forward made 38 appearances for Bayern last season, scoring 12 goals. Yet he only made 25 Bundesliga outings, and 27 starts in all competitions, as, not helped by injury, he failed to find his best form. A dressing room altercation with team-mate Leroy Sane would see the forward suspended for one match back in April, with suggestions that the Bavarians would look to move him on remaining present ever-since.
