Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to listen to offers for Sadio Mane just one year after signing the 31-year-old from Liverpool.
According to 90min, the reigning Bundesliga champions are open to selling the Senegal international after a disappointing season in Germany, with Mane struggling to fit in Thomas Tuchel’s system as well as getting into a well-publicised altercation with Leroy Sane.
Mane got into a physical conflict with the Germany international that saw the former Liverpool man punch Sane in the face after Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, resulting in the winger being fined and suspended by Bayern.
Whilst Mane’s punishment has been served, it appears that the story is far from over, and Bayern now have plans to offload the attacker at all costs this summer despite only just signing the winger from Liverpool last year, with a true replacement for Robert Lewandowski in the works.
Indeed, Liverpool are seemingly emerging as the real winners from this deal, with Bayern set to make a colossal loss on selling Mane this summer should a buyer be found, just one season after the German giants signed the attacker for a reported £40m.
Mane’s time at Bayern could not have gone any worse
When Mane made the decision to leave Merseyside for Bavaria, few would have predicted the attacker’s time in the Bundesliga to have gone as badly as it has, yet fast-forward to now, and it’s truly incredible just how everything has seemingly gone wrong.
The altercation with Sane, was of course, completely avoidable, yet with Mane now Bayern’s public enemy no.1, the Munich-based giants have already made their decision to sell the Senegal superstar, and a move this summer could be best for all parties.
