Liverpool chiefs prepared to see Mane run down contract

Liverpool chiefs haven’t ruled out allowing Sadio Mane to run down his contract next season.

With a year to run on his current contract, Mane’s agent is in talks with Bayern Munich about a summer move.

The Athletic says Liverpool will insist on at least €50m to sell Mane.

And if Bayern refuse to do business, the Reds board haven’t ruled out keeping hold of Mane and allowing him to leave for nothing next June.

Mane is said to have agreed an outline on a deal with Bayern in the past week.
