Liverpool have rejected a second offer from Bayern Munich for Sadio Mane and are demanding close to £42.75million for the forward.
The Reds swiftly dismissed the latest bid from the Bundesliga side, who proposed a £30m package having seen their initial £25m approach turned down last week.
Bayern were willing to offer a £23.5m set fee - up by £2.5m on their first bid - and a similar increase to the add-ons which could have totalled £6.5m. However, it is understood to reach the maximum amount would have involved Bayern winning the Champions League in all three of the seasons they want Mane to sign up for, as well as the player winning the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years.
