Bayern Munich's first to offers for Sadio Mane have not gone down well with Liverpool's top brass and now another team has taken the opportunity to poke fun at the German champions.
The Reds are understood to be wanting to receive in excess of £40m for the 30-year-old Senegalese forward, who has one year left on his current contract but have been one of Jurgen Klopp's most important players throughout his successful Anfield rein. But Bayern's initial attempts to prize the AFCON winner away from Merseyside have been met with derision.
After rejecting an opening gambit of £21.5million plus £4milllion in possible add-ons, the Bavarian club returned with an 'improved offer' of £23.5million plus £6million in add-ons. That would not be enough for Liverpool to agree a deal, but it is the terms of the add-ons that has raised eyebrows.
