Sadio Mane Told To 'Be Careful' As Liverpool Also Warned Over Bayern Munich Plans

Liverpool face the prospect of losing Sadio Mane this summer with Bayern Munich keen to bring the attacker to Germany.

Mane has 12 months left on his contract and though the Reds have rejected two initial bids from Bayern, the ECHO understands that Liverpool are expecting Bayern Munich to lodge a third, improved bid for Mane in the coming days as they hold out for nearer £42.75m for the Senegalese international.

Sadio Mane Told To 'Be Careful' As Liverpool Also Warned Over Bayern Munich Plans

A former Premier League striker now working as a pundit has now warned Mane that he faces losing his 'Liverpool legacy' if he doesn't proceed with caution and handle this transfer with respect and care.

Bayern's warning to Liverpool

Following Bayern's two failed attempts to prise Mane away from Anfield, the German champions have given a negotiation update.

Though a third bid is expected, sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has warned Jurgen Klopp's side that his club are looking at other options should they not secure a deal for the former Southampton star. Bayern could lose Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski to transfers this summer and have a number of options according to their transfer chief.

"Of course we can't rely on one option to strengthen our attack," Salihamidzic said when asked about targets outside of Mane. "We must have several options."
