German giants Bayern Munich are said to be interested in signing Sadio Mane who has entered the final year of his contract with Premier League club Liverpool.

Spanish club Barcelona have been on the trail of the Senegalese as the Catalan giants are keen on signing an experienced striker.

The AFCON 2021 winner reportedly believes he could have a shot at the Ballon d’Or at Barcelona than at Liverpool and the Blaugrana are said to be aware of his interest.

His future at Anfield remains in doubt as fresh reports now have it that Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic met Mane's representatives in Majorca last Friday.

Although sources claim Mane’s name was not mentioned, the forward’s agency is also in charge of Bayern forward Serge Gnabry.

Liverpool officials are left surprised by Bayern’s interest and Mane has never given any indication that he is doing anything other than preparing for the five games that could yet see the Reds complete a clean sweep of trophies.

Mane helps Liverpool keep pressure on Man City

Meanwhile, Liverpool went level on points with Manchester City after a hard-fought victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday, May 10.

It was an interesting encounter as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, now a manager at Villa, came up against a side he is all too familiar with.

The visitors, despite being heavy favourites in the game, were stunned three minutes into the encounter as Douglas Luiz bundled home the opener after Alisson failed to hold on to the ball.

But Liverpool showed some character with an equaliser moments later, and it came through Joel Matip, who took advantage of a goalmouth scramble and then Mane headed home the winner in the 64th minute.

Bayern Munich sign 13-year-old wonderkid

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ghanaian sensation Mike Wisdom has joined German champions Bayern Munich from Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Bavarians have been busy adding to their youth team over recent years, and Wisdom is the next youngster on the way to Allianz Arena.

The 13-year-old striker was also on the radar of Spanish powerhouse Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen following his wonderful performance at Monchengladbach academy.
