In an unexpected turn of events, Bayern Munich is reportedly willing to part ways with Sadio Mane after just one season, as per reports from Germany.
Sources suggest that club officials have already informed Mane about their decision to exclude him from their plans for the upcoming campaign. Bayern is now actively seeking an exit route for the player, with Saudi Arabia emerging as a potential option that could meet both Mane’s wage expectations and the Bavarian club’s desire for a transfer fee.
Mane was hailed as Bayern’s star signing last summer when he joined the club from Liverpool on a three-year deal. However, the Senegalese player faced a challenging season, marred by injuries that prevented him from representing his country in the World Cup and impacted his on-field performances. His frustrations famously boiled over in April during a clash with teammate Leroy Sane in the Etihad dressing room, further complicating matters.
With only seven goals to his name, Mane’s contribution fell significantly short of expectations for a marquee signing. As Bayern aims to rebuild after a tumultuous season, in which they still managed to secure the Bundesliga title, an exit for Mane is viewed as beneficial.
Given his status as the club’s highest earner, a swift departure of Mane could potentially provide Bayern with greater flexibility in their pursuit of securing the services of Harry Kane.
