Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has suggested the German giants are willing to walk away from negotiations with Liverpool over Sadio Mane.
The Bundesliga champions have had two bids rejected for the Liverpool attacker, who has 12 months left on his contract at Anfield. The ECHO understands the Reds are expecting Bayern to lodge a third, improved bid for Mane in the coming days as they hold out for nearer £42.75million for the Senegalese international.
But in an apparent attempt to soften Liverpool's stance and keep the upper hand, Salihamidzic has claimed Munich are looking at 'several' other players to improve an attack that could be losing Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry this summer.
