  • Aliou Cisse has suggested Bayern Munich as the perfect destination for Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane
  • The Bavarians have been touted as the likely destination for Mane, who is entering the final year of his Liverpool contract
  • Mane, who became Senegal's all-time top scorer, recently notched a last-gasp goal to give the reigning African champions back-to-back wins in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers

Senegal head coach Aliou Cissé has waded into the discussion of Sadio Mane's uncertain future at Liverpool.

Mane, whose current deal with Liverpool runs out in the summer of 2023, is reportedly angling for a move away from Anfield with Bayern Munich leading the race to secure the services of the 2021 AFCON winner.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has seen their first two bids for the Senegal talisman brutally turned down by Liverpool, who were not impressed by the strange add-ons in the initial offer.

Despite Liverpool's hardball, Aliou Cisse reckons Bayern Munich will be the best destination for Mane.

“Bayern is intensity, pressure football with a German coach," notes the 46-year-old tactician in an interview with the Senegalese daily Source A as quoted by Sports News Africa.
Aliou Cissé adds: “Sadio played in Salzburg in Austria, which is a border country, and that means that he is not going into unknown territory. For me, the club where he will feel the best is Bayern."

Bayern Munich ready to let go of 8 players to sign Sadio Mane

Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to part ways with up to seven players in order to acquire funds to buy Sadio Mane from Liverpool.

In recent weeks, Mane has emerged as a top target for Bayern, who are almost certain to lose want-away star, Robert Lewandowski.

The Bavarians saw their first two bids for the Senegal star brutally turned down by Liverpool, who were not impressed by the strange add-ons in the initial offer.

Sadio Mane becomes Senegal's all-time top scorer after hat-trick against Benin

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Liverpool forward Sadio Mane scored a hat-trick as Senegal defeated Benin 3-1 in the first match of their Africa Cup of Nations title defence.

The Teranga Lions kicked off their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign against the Squirrels at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade on Saturday.

Aliou Cisse's side saw off Egypt in the 2022 AFCON final back in January and headed into the match against Benin with the aim of keeping their juggernaut rolling.
