Mane in Munich for Bayern medical as €41m transfer exit from Liverpool nears completion

The forward will leave Merseyside after six years to join the Bundesliga champions

Sadio Mane is in Munich to undergo a medical ahead of his €41 million (£35m/$43m) transfer from Liverpool to Bayern.

The Reds will receive a €32m (£27m/$34m) fixed fee for the Senegal international, with a further €6m available based on appearances and €3m depending on individual and team achievements.

The transfer fee means that Liverpool have sold the winger for more than the £33.5m (€39m/$40m) they paid to sign him from Southampton in 2016 - but for Bayern, it marks a key bit of business in the transfer window.
