Departing Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has admitted his heart was already in Bayern Munich the moment his agent told him about the interest.
The Bayern Munich forward has now completed a medical, bringing to an end a six-year stint at Anfield.
Mane joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2016.
Mane made his intentions to leave Liverpool known towards the end of last season.
According to media reports, Mane is expected to earn about 250,000 pounds weekly at Bayern Munich.
Bayern have finally reached an agreement on a deal which will see them pay an initial £27.1million for the Senegalese talisman.
The fee could rise to £35.1m and although neither club have officially announced the transaction, he has been spotted in Bayern gear and completed his first interview with reporters in the country he will now ply his trade in.
“When my agent first told me about Bayern’s interest, I was immediately excited.
“I saw myself there right away. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world and the team is always fighting for every title. So for me it was a very good idea and the right decision to come here.
“My agent told me that there were enquiries from other clubs. But I got the feeling right away when Bayern presented their plan to me. I found myself in Bayern’s plan more than anyone else,” Mane told BILD.
