  • Former Germany international Lothar Matthaus wants Senegal forward Sadio Mané to join Bayern Munich
  • The Liverpool star has been on the radar of the German giants, who have already had two bids rejected
  • Sadio Mané helped Liverpool win the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup in the just ended English Premier League campaign

Germany and Bayern Munich legend, Lothar Matthaus, is hoping Senegal forward Sadio Mané will move to the Bundesliga.

The Liverpool star has reportedly agreed to join the German champions after six years with the Merseyside club.

Matthaus, who won the 1990 World Cup and Ballon d'Or, believes Mané will be a perfect replacement for want-away Robert Lewandowski.

“I really hope that Sadio Mané will sign for Bayern. He's a big name in international football and he showed it, not only with Senegal, but also with Liverpool. He scores and scores goals. He has high speed and we lost Erling Haaland. Maybe we are going to lose Robert Lewandowski and we need the same figures for our logo, for our brand in the Bundesliga," he said as quoted by 13football.com

The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations winner has reportedly agreed terms with the Bavarians, but Liverpool are yet to accept Bayern's offer.

The English giants have already rejected to two bids for the winger, but Bayern Munich are making an improved offer for the player.

The 30-year-old returned to Senegal for the summer holidays after a long season, which saw him win the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

The Reds lost the UEFA Champions League final to Real Madrid and fell short by just a point to Manchester City, who won the English Premier League.

Sadio Mane agrees to join Bayern Munich

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has reportedly agreed to join Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich on a three-year deal.

The Senegalese has been strongly linked with a move away from Anfield this summer despite having one year left on his contract with the English Premier League club.

Liverpool’s Twitter account DaveOCKOP tweeted that the 30-year-old has officially agreed to personal terms to join the German club ahead of next season.
