Sadio Mane has expressed his excitement about his imminent transfer to Bayern Munich from Liverpool, admitting he was 'hooked' by the Bavarian giants' interest in him.

Asked why he opted to move to the Bundesliga, Mane revealed he was 'hooked' by Bayern's interest in him.



"When my advisor first told me about Bayern Munich's interest, I was hooked.



I found myself in Bayern's plan more than anyone else."



The forward is on the verge of completing a transfer to Die Roten worth £35m including add-ons, and he was in Munich on Tuesday to undergo a medical before being pictured wearing a Bayern training top as he signed autographs for supporters.

But I got the feeling right away when Bayern presented the plan to me.

Mane indicated that he was open to leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2021/22 campaign and 90min understands he even waived some fees in order to seal a switch to the Allianz Arena, with a deal agreed late last week.
