On Friday, Bayern Munich’s Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic confirmed that the German giants would be signing Liverpool forward Sadio Mane. In a comment made to SkySports Germany, Salihamidzic responded to a question about Mane with “Yes, he’s coming.”
That could have consequences for Barcelona. Although Salihamidzic and much of the Bayern Munich leadership have maintained that Polish striker Robert Lewandowski will see out his contract with the club, an exit would surely be easier to swallow in the knowledge they have another elite forward in their ranks.

Barcelona have confirmed their interest in Lewandowski and the question remains whether Bayern will cave into the forward’s desires.
Although Bayern will be keen to make a show of strength against .er power, they are not a club with limitless re.s and if Barcelona can place a bid which tips matters in Bayern’s favour, then a deal may be in the offing.
