Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has heaped praise on Sadio Mane but does not want to be lining up against the Liverpool forward as a rival next season.
Mane has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich in the days following the Reds' Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. The ECHO understands, as of Sunday afternoon, that the Senegal star had not communicated his desire to leave the club, but insiders are braced for contact from Bayern. Liverpool won't listen to any offers below £40million, despite Mane now being inside the final 12 months of his contract, and a replacement will need to be sourced before the 30-year-old will be allowed to leave.
Adeyemi himself is no stranger to transfer speculation, and was tentatively linked with a move to Anfield last summer and in the January window. But it was Dortmund who wrapped up a deal to sign the 20-year-old German forward for a reported £32.5million fee in May.
