You know that classic, everything goes fast in football. Sadio Mané couldn’t say it better. Arrived as a star at Bayern Munich last summer, the Senegalese is today persona non grata in the Bavarian workforce. An incredible outcome when you remember the comments surrounding his coming to Bavaria.
Bayern Munich thought it was a huge blow by recruiting the left winger from Liverpool for not much (less than €40m). But it’s not really him that the Munich club, orphan of Robert Lewandowski, needed. The Mané transplant never took and it was by replacing luxury that the masterstroke was transformed. The arrival of Thomas Tuchel has not changed anything and today, Mané is pushed towards the exit.
Which destination ?
And Bayern decided to put their cards on the table with their player. As reported Kicker, the Bavarian management informed Mané that he was not in the plans for this season. He is therefore invited to find a new club this summer, which would save his expensive salary, estimated at €20m per season. Initially tied until 2025, Mané hoped to continue the adventure and prove his worth.
Bayern Munich’s clear announcement is therefore a blow for the Senegalese, who already has a Saudi club on his trail (Al-Ahli). In view of his salary, there are not many who can claim his arrival. Departure for the flourishing lands of Saudi Arabia, return to Liverpool, new challenge with a European cador? The options are open.
