Bayern Munich is attempting to sign Liverpool's Sadio Mane, who has been recommended by Senegal's coach to join the Bundesliga club.

Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has encouraged Liverpool striker Sadio Mane to join Bayern Munich.

With only a year left on his current deal at Anfield, Mane has been heavily linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions.

The Premier League club are claimed to have rejected two offers from Bayern Munich for the 30-year-old, who has won six major championships with the Reds in as many seasons.

When on international duty, the Senegalese international hinted at a desire to go, and Cisse believes Bayern is the best choice for Mane's career if he decides to leave.

“I tell my boys to try to work out the contract issues so that when their respective championships resume, they will have already found a base,” Cisse told reporters.

“I heard about Sadio at Bayern. To me, it is a club that is of its standing. Bayern is intense, pressing football with a German coach.

Sadio played in Salzburg, Austria, which is a border country, and that means he is not going into unknown territory.

“For me, the club where he will feel the best is Bayern.”

Mane has scored 90 goals in 196 Premier League games for Liverpool since joining from Southampton in 2016.

Only Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy (104), team-mate Mohamed Salah (118) and Tottenham’s Harry Kane (134) have managed more in the competition across that period.

Jurgen Klopp’s side appear to be close to signing Benfica forward Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Mane.

But Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has suggested that the German side are considering multiple options in the transfer market, with the Mane move far from a certainty.
