  • Sadio Mane has been linked with a move away from Bayern Munich
  • The former Liverpool forward has had a torrid time in the Bundesliga
  • The Bavarians have been linked with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane

Bayern Munich forward, Sadio Mane's club future remains uncertain with the player's manager making a U-turn about the Senegalese star's immediate destination.

It could be a long summer for the former Liverpool player, who could be set to leave the Allianz Arena after just one season with the reigning Bundesliga champions.

After a disappointing first season with Bayern Munich, Mane may have already earned himself a position on the chopping block after an infamous bust-up with teammate, Leroy Sane.

The Senegalese footballer has also struggled to adapt to the Bundesliga, further fuelling speculation that he could seek an exit from the German side in the summer window.

A report from transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has stated that initial talks between Mane and teams in Saudi Arabia's top flight have taken place, but are in the early stages.

Mane’s agent denies transfer rumour

However, the player’s manager, Bacary Cisse, has recently denied the rumoured offers from clubs in the Middle Eastern country, even claiming discussions had not taken place at all.

He said, via @iMiaSanMia on Twitter, quoting 365Scores Arabia's Ismaeel Mahmoud:

Earlier reports from Goal have stated that Mane has remained firm about staying with Bayern Munich despite the rumours, but the club might have different idea in mind.

With the Bavarians still pursuing Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane as Robert Lewandowski's replacement up front, there may well be less room for the Senegalese star next term.

Mane, Firmino reuniting in Saudi?

In news related to the forward, Sports Brief reported that if Mane joined the Saudi league, he would become part of a long list of players to sign up for the country's top flight.

Al-Ahli are said to be interested in signing the Senegalese forward, wanting to reunite him with his ex-Liverpool teammate, Roberto Firmino, who joined earlier this week.
