Liverpool Chief Ward Tells Bayern To Forget About Face-to-Face Mane Talks

Liverpool chief Julian Ward has told Bayern Munich to forget about sending a delegation to England to discuss Sadio Mane's transfer fee.

The Reds have so far rejected two offers from Bayern for the striker.

The German champions initially offered £21million, with an additional £4.6m in add-ons, says The Times.

After Liverpool turned them down the Bavarians increased that opening bid by £2.5m, to a guaranteed fee of £23.5m, and the add-ons by £2.5m to £6.5m.

That means Bayern's bid would only reach a mere £30m if the Munich giants win the Champions League for the next three years and the Senegal international lifts the Ballon d'Or in each of those seasons.

Liverpool's new sporting director Ward is holding out for a £42.5m fee as a benchmark figure.

Ward has also told Bayern there is no point holding face-to-face talks unless they are prepared to make a serious bid for the 30-year-old.
