Sadio Mane has edged closer to a Liverpool exit with fresh talks with Bayern Munich over a potential transfer set to take place.
The Reds have already rejected two bids for the Senegalese, with the Bundesliga outfit first making a £25m approach before offering an overall £30m package for the forward.
However, with that bid only worth an initial £23.5m, and with Liverpool only standing to bank the full total if Bayern won the Champions League in all three of the seasons they want Mane to sign up for, as well as the player winning the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years, club bosses were left bemused and considered such clauses as laughable.
