Liverpool have rejected a second offer from Bayern Munich for Sadio Mane which only amounted to £30million including bonuses and are sticking by their valuation of €50million (£42.5million) for the Senegal forward.
Bayern would have had to win the Champions League and Mane the Ballon d’Or in each of the next three years to trigger all the bonuses to reach £30million and Liverpool believe that an initial sum of £23.5million is insufficient and that the add-ons are laughable.
