Liverpool talisman Sadio Mane has today completed his move to Bayern Munich, the 30-year-old announced after the club’s Uefa Champions League final defeat his decision to leave Merseyside.
The African Cup of Nations winner completed his medical for the German giants on Monday and will be unveiled today at a press conference in Munich.
Bayern were the only club to make bids for Mane, who is still very much at the peak of his powers but had two opening bids rebuffed by the Liverpool hierarchy.
Liverpool fans can rest easy however after the club signed Benfica forward Darwin Nunez as the Senegalese striker’s replacement in a club-record deal.
