With Sadio Mane believed to want out of Liverpool, the player's wage demands at Anfield have now reportedly been revealed.
6 Frontrunners For Ballon d'Or After 2021/22 Season
It has been claimed that Mane is set to leave Anfield during the upcoming transfer window after what has been six fruitful years with the Merseyside club.
The news emerged after the Reds were defeated 1-0 by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris this past weekend.
Bayern Munich have emerged as the frontrunners to land the Senegalese winger's signature, with the Bavarian giants facing contract debacles of their own involving Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry.
According to Sport Bild, the reason for Mane's refusal to extend his stay with Liverpool is because the club were against giving the forward the weekly £393 000 (R7.6 million) wage package he had requested.

Mane is currently outside of the Reds' 10 highest earners, taking home £100 000 (R1.9 million) per week, half of what the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are making, according to Spotrac.

Mane joined Jurgen Klopp's men from Southampton in 2016, and has gone on to win six major trophies while scoring 120 goals in 269 appearances for the Reds.
