  • The 31-year-old reportedly fell out with the Bavarian club hierarchy

Sadio Mane now looks set to bid farewell to the Allianz Arena – a place he only made home barely 12 months ago.

His time at the German Champions was further marred by his fallout with German star Leroy Sane.

Amidst reports from Goal that the Senegalese forward appears surplus to requirement at the Bavaria club, loads of reports have emerged linking the two-time African player of the year with a move to the Saudi Professional League.

Club president Herbert Hainer has since come to clear the air on the transfer status of the former Liverpool star.

The former CEO of Adidas-Group, Hainer stressed the club’s stance on the forward.

As quoted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Hainer said:

“Yes, Bayern is informed about Sadio Mane agent in talks with Al Nassr”
“That's good style. But as far as I know, these are the first talks. We'll have to wait and see what happens”.

The statement made by the club president has since gained loads of traction, given reports that emerge of Mane agreeing to a deal with Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr.

Amidst the cloud of uncertainty surrounding the future of the Senegalese, one thing that appears certain is the fact Mane will leave Bayern Munich just after a season at the club.

Stats courtesy of Whoscored showed Mane in his first season in the Bundesliga, was involved in 25 appearances, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.

In a previous report, Sports Brief reported that Mane's club future remains uncertain, with the player's manager making a U-turn about the Senegalese star's immediate destination.

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

It remains to be seen where the forward’s immediate future lies.
