any details as to why mané wants to leave liverpool? is he unhappy to share the spotlight with salah, wasn't he offered a contract to his liking, or is he simply looking for a new challenge?

i genuinely don't see a good reason for him to join bayern: the domestic league offers no challenge, they are less likely to win the champions league (even though bayern are obviously always amongst the favourites and will still have a strong team), and i can't imagine them completely obliterating their wage structure to give him some crazy contract that liverpool couldn't match - despite the necessity to make a high profile signing when lewandowski leaves.

he possibly just wants to move for an other great team, he is 29, thats the best timing to do this

From what we've heard, he just wants a new challenge, but I think being in a team with Mo Salah does grate on him as they're competing against each other at times

On top of that, he's only on £100,000 a week, and Bayern can certainly offer him more than that. So could we, but the club's hierarchy have prioritised getting Salah's contract sorted over Mane so there could be uncertainty on his part over the deal he'll be offered

We all know the Salah Mane Firmino trio is over, and of the three I think Liverpool would rather lose Mane than offer him close to what Salah could be getting

our wage structure has blown up already recently and with gnabry not signing his extension offer and lewy out money wont be a problem (i guess)

or maybe we will really keep lewy and mane becomes the gnabry replacement

could be anything at this point

or mane will just extend with liverpool, that would be my guess

haha ! thats a good one ! indeed the feeling is realy strange

Can't say I've seen enough of Darwin Nunez to know if he's good enough or worth 75m, but if Klopp is convinced then I trust his decision. It does feel like a panic buy in response to the way we lost the CL final and City signing Haaland though

I suppose it does make business sense as we'll get 40m for Mane and 17m for Minamino which covers a significant portion of the fee

This is not a panic buy imo as Liverpool was eying him for months now.

This boy realy impressed me vs Liverpool and always strong in every other Benfica games i watched this seas. He is a great fighter like Cavani, great finisher, tall, he has everything for PL imo and would replace perfectly Bobby who is in diffuclties for now 2-3 seas

Is Minamino realy leaving ? i was hoping for more playing time from him next seas

There has been no chance of more game time since we bought Diaz. He's sixth choice after Salah, Mane, Firmino, Diaz, Jota and Origi's replacement. From what I'm hearing, we set the price at £17m and a number of clubs are interested. Monaco, Fulham and Leeds, mainly

If we get £35-40m for Mane, £17m for Minamino, £15m for Williams and maybe £10m for Ox I would be happy

After Nunez we need a central midfielder and a backup RB. The rest of the squad is fine
