Liverpool's Sadio Mane 'wants to come to Munich,' claims Hamann

Liverpool and Senegal star Sadio Mane is moving ever closer to a switch to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, according to former Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann.

Hamann told talkSPORT that he thought it was 'very likely' that Mane would be on the move this summer, amid prolonged speculation that he will join the German giants.

Bayern are reported to have had a £25million bid rejected by the Premier League side, but with three months left of the window are likely to return with another offer.  

The former Germany international said: 'Yeah, what I hear is that he wants to come to Munich.

'He's made it pretty clear that he thinks his time in Liverpool is up and he wants to come and now it's a matter of how much Liverpool will want for him.

'Obviously Robert Lewandowski wants to join Barcelona, he only has a year left on his contract, so I think Bayern Munich will want to get both deals done in the next few days or next few weeks, but I think it's very likely that he plays his football here next year.' 

It is believed that Mane wants to leave Anfield for a new challenge after six years playing for the Reds, during which time he has won the Champions League, Premier League, Fifa Club World Cup, UEFA Supercup, FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
