Liverpool have rejected Bayern Munich’s latest offer for Sadio Mané which would only reach £30 million should the German club win the Champions League, and the Senegal forward lift the Ballon d’Or, in each of the next three seasons.
Julian Ward, Liverpool’s new sporting director, is instead using £42.5 million as a benchmark figure for negotiations and has told Bayern there is no point holding face-to-face talks unless they are prepared to make a serious bid.
Bayern had a £25 million package rebuffed at the end of last week. In their second offer, the German champions have increased that opening gambit by £2.5 million, to a guaranteed fee of £23.5 million, and the add-ons by £2.5 million to £6.5 million.
However, the terms were swiftly rejected, with the nature of the bonuses deemed laughable by Anfield officials.
