The long-ruling German champions are determined to sign Senegalese star Sadio Mane, who was such a huge figure for Liverpool last season – Bayern have returned with a new figure, which amounts to 35 million euros including add-ons, but that is of no interest to Liverpool, the same as the initial offer of 30 million euros, rejected at the weekend.The Reds want closer to 50 million euros for 30-year-old Mane which they will put towards a replacement. Mane has hinted that his future lies elsewhere – the African has already asked Liverpool team-mate Thiago if he can move into his house in Munich if he joins Bayern this summer, throwing his future further into doubt – with 12 months left to run on his current deal at Anfield.Wed 19:00: (8.00) Tanzania (3.80) Algeria (1.50) Bayern president Herbert Hainer discussed the possible acquisition of Mane, telling German outlet BILD: ‘If we really want a player, we are able to get him. But he has to suit us.’. Unfortunately for Hainer & Co. their second effort was robustly dismissed by Liverpool.As things stand undisclosed regarding Mane – Liverpool could be prepared to smash their transfer record to sign Uruguayan young star Darwin Nunez. Benfica striker is one of the biggest prospects in world football and is also wanted by Atletico Madrid and Manchester United but Liverpool are determined to sign Nunez with a deal that could reach as much as 100 million euros.Julian Ward, Liverpool’s new sporting director, has been in discussions with Benfica and it is understood that Nunez is keen to move to Merseyside. If Liverpool can complete the transfer, it would be a massive statement of intent.Mane was “joking” about leaving Liverpool, but he seriously loves Olympique de MarseilleNunez, who can play on the left as well as through the middle, scored six goals in the Champions League last season, two of which came in the quarter-finals against Liverpool and he made a significant impression on Jurgen Klopp.However, Liverpool need as much money as they can get if Mane is sold and only a third of Nunez’s price is not enough.
