And so another transfer saga begins.
Sadio Mane was not the name most Liverpool supporters were expecting to see involved in a bidding war this summer, with Mohamed Salah seeming the more likely of the two to move on and seek a new challenge. But such is the unpredictable nature of football, Jurgen Klopp's side could find themselves without both of their star forwards by this time next year.
Bayern Munich have already got the ball rolling with an initial offer worth £25million, though this was instantly knocked back by the Reds. Liverpool are holding firm over the Senegalese star and won't be pushed into accepting any bid they believe undervalues the attacking quality offered by the 30-year-old.
