Sadio Mane is leaving Liverpool after the Reds reached a £35.1m agreement with the German side.
The Senegalese leaves Anfield having scored 120 goals in 269 appearances for the club, where he had one year remaining on his contract.
Mane won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup League Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup with the Reds, while he was also in the sides that lost Champions League finals in 2018 and 2022.
