Liverpool are in no hurry to sell Sadio Mane despite reported interest from Bayern Munich, with the Reds unprepared to let the Senegal star move on the cheap.
The Africa Cup of Nations winner has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, who themselves could be set to lose Robert Lewandowski this summer. However, despite suggestions Mane has told teammates he plans to move on, the club do not appear ready to be held to ransom.
Liverpool may prefer to lose Mane for nothing in a year rather than sanction a cut-price deal this summer. While the arrival of 19-year-old Fabio Carvalho from Fulham has helped bolster their options in attack, there may be internal pressure to have a senior replacement lined up rather than place too much pressure on youth.
