Bayern Munich want Sadio Mané

According to BILD, in Germany.

Bild is the german equivalent of the Mirror so I wouldnt be too concerned yet.

www.kicker.de is a far more reliable site. If they report it there's probably some truth attached.

 

Nothing on Bild either....

 

At what price would one accept a bid if it came this summer? £30-35m? Not easy to replace exciting attacking talent....

 

Managed to find this too: http://fr.starafrica.com/football/mercato-sadio-mane-entre-le-bayern-munich-et-chelsea.html

 

€40m = £29.35m if true, that's about the right ballpark but I'd rather keep than sell. Think Sadio can be a big big player for us next year starting with a full pre-season and being fully settled. Can't see his value/potential sale price really decreasing much unless he gets injured.

 

If he performs well next season and bags 15+ goals then it's going to be very difficult for us to keep him as he will rightly be attracting clubs of this ilk.

As far as this summer is concerned. I can't see Bayern bidding based on one decent season and even if they did then they'll know we're in way too strong a position with his contract to accept a bid unless it's ridiculous and I think that's definitely a minimum of £30m. Personally I'd stick £50m on his head

 

Uh-oh. We all know he's got history of throwing toys. Could get messy.

 

If Bayarn are serious, Sadio will go, his history indicates he will demand a move and if they offer circa £30m we will accept
JRod can play his roll without doubt and has a proven track record
The money can be used for further strengthening
Would be sorry to see him go (apart from the diving) but would be "good business"

 

Deal on if they give us a player (Robben if he is willing) plus cash!!

 

Schweinsteiger plus £20M would come in handy....

 

Can't be true, he's awful at times.

 

You've got used to us throwing money at you I see.

 

Really? Tad naive mate. All players can be bad. Was Sterling brilliant everytime, or awful at times? Why do people want him if he had awful games?

Two of Mane's best games were against Chelsea and City. That may have been noted by big clubs.

He's no Danny Ings, I'll grant you that

 

I've only watched him 3 or 4 times so have to concede that I am judging him on that only and he was poor on every occasion, you will have seen him a lot more so you know more than me.

I'm quite happy with the Ings transfer but wont be if he's the only striker we buy this Summer.

 

Bit of a daft statement mate then wasn't it if you've "only watched him 3 or 4 times"

We've got a really good Italian striker you can have.

 

It doesn't really make any sense. We'd charge about 30m for him so hes not a bargain, nor is he some highly accomplished superstar. So I don't see why Bayern would look at him as a target.

But i suppose if they insist we can take 5m and Thomas Muller off their hands, i guess.

 

Argentinean, surely?

 

I swear Mane said earlier this year that be wouldn't be leaving because he'd want to improve his game even more at Saints.

Edit - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-winger-sadio-mane-set-5468644 here's the article in question. I know it's Benfica and not Bayern so who knows.

 

Here we go.... I was hoping we would get another season out of him at least, I can understand luvs point if only seen him a handful of times as he is very very raw, but he is incredibly talented and new to the league. I can see him exploding on the scene next year with a full pre-season under his belt - He's only going to get better and better imo. Would be gutted to lose him straight away but if clubs are that size are interested then I would be saying £30m absolute minimun
