Sadio Mane will be the 'perfect' signing for Bayern Munich - and his expected arrival in Germany will not depend on the future of Robert Lewandowski.
That's according to Sky Sports international reporter and transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio, who has shared his own insight on the Liverpool star's protracted move to the Bundesliga. Mane has 12 months left on his current Anfield deal, but looks set to leave the club after six seasons, with the German champions favourites for his signature.
Speaking to wettfreunde, Di Marzio said: "Bayern Munich is the natural team for him (Mane) because he wants a new challenge and Bayern needs a player like him for their future. They're not depending on Robert Lewandowski but if Lewandowski will go to Barcelona, they will have a player who can play the part of Lewandowski or play with Lewandowski.
