Sadio Mane has completed the first part of his Bayern Munich medical in Germany after jetting in from Majorca on Tuesday as the forward edges closer to a move to the Bundesliga giants.
Liverpool agreed a £35.1million deal with the German club for the 30-year-old last week and he touched down at Munich Airport on Tuesday morning.
The star forward arrived in Bavaria on a private jet from Majorca with his advisor Bjorn Bezemer and then went on to Barmherzige Bruder hospital to undergo his medical.

Later on, Mane emerged from the medical facility wearing Bayern Munich training gear and posed for pictures with fans outside.
The star forward is expected to be unveiled by the Bundesliga champions on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.
The Reds had been reluctant to lose their star this summer, but a move became almost inevitable when the Senegalese international, who is in the final year of his contract, confirmed his desire to quit Anfield.
Having already rejected two offers including what were considered unrealistic bonuses, Liverpool finally agreed a fee of £27.4m with an additional £5.1m based on appearances and £2.6m based on individual and team achievements.
Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic led negotiations well aware that Mane was committed to joining the German champions and determined to get a deal done for under Liverpool’s £42.5m asking price.
