will make an improved, third bid for , but it is still notably short of Liverpool’s asking price for the forward.
report that the German giants are ready to offer £34.6m for Mane, an improvement on their last offer which stood at around £30m in total.
However, the improved bid is still some way short of what the Reds want for the wantaway forward, having stuck an asking price of £42m on him.
With Liverpool agreeing the £85m deal with Benfica for , it seems inevitable that Mane will be leaving this summer and Bayern are trying to force through the best agreement possible for them.
The 30-year-old still has one year left on his contract at Anfield but has made it clear that he wants to move, with the Reds happy to let him go if an appropriate offer is made.
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have also shown an interest in Mane, so Liverpool are not ready to accept a low-ball offer while there remain other suitors.
The Reds are thought to be confused by Bayern’s measly offers, especially as they are asking for 33-year-old €50m (£43.3m) for Robert Lewandowski, who has also made it clear he wants to leave with one more year left on his contract.
Barcelona are leading the chase for Lewandowski, although Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on the Pole, while Chelsea have been linked with his services as well.
Meanwhile, Nunez arrived in Liverpool on Tuesday with his move from Benfica set to be confirmed imminently.
