Bayern Munich were interested in Liverpool's Mane - Rummenigge

The Senegal international has led the Reds to top spot in the Premier League, but could have been playing in the Bundesliga

Liverpool superstar Sadio Mane could have been a Bayern Munich player, but slipped through the German team’s fingers, according to CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The Senegal winger, whose performances this season have drawn rave reviews, ended up at Red Bull Salzburg instead, before a move to Southampton and eventually a big money switch to Anfield.

It was after he made the move to Austria from French side Metz that he drew the attentions of the Bavarian giants.
