Sadio Mane completes move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich
Sadio Mane has completed his move from Liverpool to German champions Bayern Munich in a deal worth around €40 million ($42m) including add-ons.
The 30-year-old Senegal striker has agreed a three-year contract with Bayern, who won a record-extending 10th straight league title last season.
Mane leaves Anfield after 269 appearances, having scored 120 goals in all competitions, helping the club win the Champions League in 2018-19 and the Premier League a season later.
He joined Liverpool from Southampton for £34m in 2016 and only had one year left on his contract at Anfield. “Obviously it is strange – really, really strange – to no longer be a Liverpool player,” he told liverpoolfc.com.
“But of course I had a great time, an unbelievable time. We won a lot.
“My life is always [about a] challenge and when it came I said to the club that I want to leave, I want to go somewhere else to see a new challenge.
“It is not anything else, it is just a challenge because for me I want to always be challenging myself to get better and better.”
Speculation began to increase about the Senegal international’s future in the past few months of the season.
