Liverpool have rejected Bayern Munich's opening approach for Sadio Mane, deeming their total offer worth £25million an unreasonable valuation of the 30-year-old.
Uncertainty continues to grow over the future over the Senegalese star, whose desire to leave the Reds emerged the day after the recent Champions League final defeat at the hands of Real Madrid.
Bayern are considered the favourites to strike a deal for Mane and have made their first move for the Liverpool forward, tabling a fee believed to be £21million plus £4million in add-ons - a large chunk of which would only be earned should Julian Nagelsmann’s side win the Champions League in the future.
