With Robert Lewandowski pushing for a Bayern Munich exit, having reportedly agreed personal terms with Barcelona, the Bavarians look set to be in the market for a high-profile replacement for the prolific Pole this summer.
If he does depart, it looks set to have a knock-on effect at Liverpool with the ECHO understanding that the club expect Bayern to bid for Sadio Mane, following reports the Senegal international will look to leave Anfield this summer. In fact, Sky Germany have even gone as far as to suggest the Bundesliga outfit have tabled a €40m bid for the forward.
As speculation about the 30-year-old’s future continues, club sources have confirmed the Reds won't listen to any offers below £40m, despite Mane now being inside the final 12 months of his contract, and a replacement will need to be sourced before the forward is allowed to leave. Despite Liverpool links with the likes of Darwin Nunez and Martin Terrier, the identity of any potential replacement, for the time-being, remains unclear.
