The Reds will get a fixed £27.4m upfront with performance-related clauses to follow depending on success. Liverpool turned down two bids from Bayern before the two clubs settled on a move for the 30-year-old, whose deal with the Reds ran until next summer.

Sadio Mané :

News of his departure follows the signing of forward Darwin Nunez from Benfica for an initial feel of around £64m.

This has also been a  fantastic year for Mane. He won the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal before helping Liverpool win the Carabao Cup and FA Cup and also finish runners-up in the Premier League and Champions League.

Mane is expected to replace Robert Lewandowski at Bayern, with the Poland international set to lave the German club having been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona.

Reaction

One fan commented: "What a player he has been for Liverpool. Selling him for a similar fee for what we signed him for having provided stellar service for 6 years and with on 1 year left on his contract is decent business I suppose. 

"He'll be missed, a fabulous player for Liverpool and a major part of the success under Klopp. Good luck Sadio lad."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
