Hopefully the German record champions don’t take this absurd joke too much to heart!
In the afternoon, Spartak Moscow tweeted a fake offer from Bayern for Aleksandar Sobolev (25) with the English club account (74,000 followers).
The not very serious offer, which is signed with a scrawled “Bayern”: “We (FC Bayern, ed.) offer 1000 euros for Alexander Sobolev. In addition, we are offering: €10m if Bayern win the Eurovision Song Contest, €15m if Manchester United wins a trophy, €20m if Lionel Messi moves to Real Madrid.”
Reason for the joke tweet: the clauses in Mané poker!
According to the “Times”, Munich-based Liverpool are said to have announced bonus payments of EUR 7.5 million in addition to the alleged transfer fee (EUR 27.5 million). The prerequisite: Bayern would have to win the Champions League three times and Mané would have to become a world footballer. .
The network is now laughing about it – and apparently so is the media department of Spartak Moscow!
BUT: In fact, despite the failed second bid for Mané, Liverpool and Bayern are closing in. The negotiations are becoming more and more concrete. Liverpool initially asked for around 50 million euros, now the club has already dropped to 45 million euros.
In the next few days, sports director Hasan Salihamidžić (45) wants to fly to Liverpool because of Mané to continue negotiations. CEO Oliver Kahn (52) should also be there.
The Mané deal has top priority for Bayern, so they will quickly follow suit. Brazzo is in constant contact with the new sports director of the Reds, Julian Ward (40), because of Mané.
The Senegalese also wants to go to Munich and has already submitted his change request to the club. Liverpool have assured Mané that they will not put any obstacles in his way. Trainer Jürgen Klopp (54) is said to have already agreed to the transfer in principle. At Bayern, Mané should get a three-year contract and rise to the top earners (salary over 20 million euros per season).
An agreement is getting closer. Despite the smug jokes online…
