Liverpool set to miss out on Champions League windfall despite agreement

While Liverpool might not have qualified for this season’s Champions League, Anfield bosses would have briefly had a clear favoured side to back in this year’s tournament instead.

READ MORE: 'Worst player on the pitch' - Dominik Szoboszlai makes honest admission about Liverpool criticismWhen the Reds sold Sadio Mane to the Bavarians in a deal worth up to £35.1m in June 2022, one of the agreed clauses would have seen them receive a windfall if the German giants went on to win the Champions League.

Bayern’s first initial bid was worth £21.5m, with its add-ons dismissed as ‘laughable’. Equating to a little over £4m, they were all based on individual and team achievements, with The Times reporting that the Reds would only receive the full fee if Munich were to win the Champions League, and the player the Ballon d’Or, each season over the course of his three-year contract.

Bayern did at least win the Bundesliga title when it came to team achievements last year, even if they did fall short in their Champions League exploits, as Mane returned 12 goals and six assists from 38 appearances for the club. Yet regardless of whether Bayern get past Real Madrid or not, Liverpool are now due to miss out on the previously-agreed windfall after Mane was sold to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr after just one season last August.
