Manuel Neuer sends two-word message to Sadio Mane after Bayern Munich transfer from Liverpool confirmed

Two Bayern Munich players have reacted to Sadio Mane leaving Liverpool to join the German club.

On Wednesday it was confirmed that Mane had left the Reds after six years on Merseyside. The Senegalese international has signed a three-year deal with Bayern after departing Anfield.

After lengthy negotiations, Liverpool agreed a £35million deal with the Bundesliga champions for Mane last week. He leaves the Reds after scoring 120 goals in 269 appearances, winning six major trophies along the way.

Liverpool will receive a fixed fee of €32m (£27.4m) with a further €9m (£7.7m) in add-ons. From those add-ons, the Reds will pocket €6m (£5.1m) based on appearances with the remaining €3m (£2.6m) based on individual and team achievements.

The fee eclipses what Liverpool paid Southampton for the forward back in 2016, with that deal proving to be worth £31m with a further £2.5m in add-ons.

After the transfer was officially confirmed, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer replied to a post on Instagram about Mane’s move. The Germany international simply wrote: "Perfect match."

Neuer’s Bayern team-mate, Benjamin Pavard, also sent a message to his new team-mate. The France international said, in the Wolof language which is spoken in Senegal: "Dalal ak jamm." Which translates as “make yourself at home”.
