Ex Bayern Munich defender, Sammy Kuffor has revealed that he can’t wait to see Liverpool’s Sadio Mane play for the German champions.
According to Kuffor, Sadio Mane would be a great addition to the team and would help to push them to more victories next season. The Liverpool man has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich after he refused to renew his contract and made it clear that he wants to leave the Merseyside club.
Speaking during an interview with Bundesliga official Kwamena Odum in Accra, Kuffor said; “I would be more than glad to have him in a Bayern Munich shirt because he is so special.
“If you see the way he plays his football, he can also adapt to the German league because when you play in the Premier League, you can adapt everywhere. So, I am praying and crossing my fingers that Bayern Munich will get him,”.
Kuffor who won six Bundesliga titles in 11 seasons with Bayern Munich, believes that the addition of Mane would help the German side to win another Champions League title.
“It will give the Bundesliga an edge also Bayern in the Champions League next season because you can see his contributions with Liverpool in all these years he has been there. He has contributed a lot and when he comes to Bayern it will be the same, he won’t change,” he said.
The ex Bayern Munich and Ghana defender scored a total of 9 goals in 277 games for Bayern. He was part of the Bayern Munich team that won the UEFA Champions League competition in the 2000/01 season.
Bayern won the trophy after beating Valencia 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in full time.
Note that Sadio Mane has been an important player in the Liverpool team after joining them from Southampton.
The Senegalese striker bagged 120 goals in 269 appearances during his six years contract at the club. Mane scored a total of 23 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last season as he helped them to win the FA CUP and Carabao Cup.
He, however, has revealed that his last game for Liverpool was the one he played against Real Madrid in the 2021/22 Champions League final.
So far, Liverpool has rejected two offers from the German champions. Recently, Futballnews gathered that Bayern are preparing a third offer.
The signing of Benfica’s striker Darwin Nunez means Liverpool would soon let Mane join Bayern Munich. Liverpool completed the signing of Nunez this week as a potential replacement for Sadio Mane.
