Mane considering Al-Nassr offer

Bayern Munich for­ward, Sadio Mane, is considering an offer to join Saudi Arabia Pro League side, Al-Nassr.

Mane, 31, has fallen out of favour at the Bundesliga champions after an under­whelming first season fol­lowing a £35m move from Liverpool last summer.

Reports suggest Bay­ern are open to selling the Senegal international, with manager Thomas Tuchel saying Mane “fell short of expectations”.

Mane has spoken to Al-Nassr but no deal has been agreed with the Saudi club.

If Mane does move, he would link up with former Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, while ex-Red Devil, Alex Tell­es,and Croatia international, Marcelo Brozovic, have both joined the club this summer.

After a successful spell at Anfield where he won the Champions League and Pre­mier League, Mane moved to Germany last summer stating it was the “right time for this challenge”.

But his time there has turned sour after reports he punched team-mate, Leroy Sane, following a Cham­pions League defeat by Manchester City in April for which he was dropped from the squad as well as fined.

Mane played 38 games for Bayern last season, scoring 12 goals, and boss Tuchel added: “The com­petitive situation is extreme­ly high, the starting position is not easy for him.

“The player knows that too, he knows my opinion and the opinion of the club.”
