Liverpool forward Sadio Mane reportedly landed in Germany on a private jet on Tuesday in order to undergo a medical and sign for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
Kicker magazine and top-selling German daily Bild both say that after touching down at the city’s airport, the 30-year-old was taken to a Munich hospital for a medical exam by Bayern’s team doctor.
Mane’s transfer to the Bundesliga giants is expected to cost around 41 million euros (£35 million, $43 million).
The Senegalese forward is expected to sign a three-year contract and to hold his first Bayern press conference Wednesday. If the moves succeeds Mane will become Africa’s highest paid player surpassing his Liverpool team mate Mohammed Salah.
