Bayern Munich sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has confirmed that the club are looking at alternatives to signing Liverpool forward Sadio Mane this summer.
Mane told his Liverpool teammates of his decision to leave the club in the aftermath of their Champions League final defeat against Real Madrid last month. Bayern are leading the race to strike a deal for the Senegalese forward in the current window but have had multiple bids rejected.
The German champions have so far lodged two offers with the Reds - both of which were knocked back. The Reds are refusing to allow the German giants to get Mane on the cheap after rejecting an improved second offer of £30million, which included add-ons. It was reported that the first bid was around £21million up front with another £4million in bonuses to make a £25million total package.
It is claimed that, despite the initial rejection, both parties expect an agreement to be reached with Sport BILD and Sky Sports Germany believing that a deal will be concluded soon. However, Bayern transfer negotiator Salihamidzic has claimed that there are other options on the table for the Bundesliga club.
