Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of Sadio Mane from Liverpool on a three-year deal.
Mane departs Anfield after six glorious years in which he won every honour available to him, including the Champions League in 2019 and Premier League one year later.
The forward had long been expected to leave this summer with Bayern kicking off negotiations towards the end of last season. Eventually a deal was struck and 90min understands that Mane agreed to waive some potential future earnings to help smooth negotiations along.
"I'm very happy to finally be with FC Bayern in Munich," Mane said. "We had a lot of talks and I felt the great interest of this big club from the start. So there was no doubt in my mind right from the start: This is the right time for this challenge. I want to achieve a lot with this club, also internationally. During my time in Salzburg I followed many FC Bayern games - I like this club very much!"
Die Roten will be hoping that Mane can help fire them back to form next season following a disappointing 2021/22 campaign.
Although they did comfortably secure a tenth straight Bundesliga title, they exited the Champions League at the quarter-final stage at the expense of minnows Villarreal and also failed to win the DFB-Pokal.
