Despite Thomas Tuchel’s outfit winning an 11th successive Bundesliga title, Mane managed only 12 goals in 38 games. The nadir was that the 31-year was involved in a dressing room fight with team-mate Leroy Sane following a 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final first leg. Mane was hit with a €500,000 fine for his actions.
Bayern are looking to sign Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane in the current window and are aiming to raise funds. Sky Sports Germany reports that Mane is one player they’re looking to offload - and for just £17 million (€20 million).
Mane has been linked with Saudi Arabia outfit Al Ahli. That is the team that Roberto Firmino recently signed for after his Liverpool exit following the expiry of his contract. Mane and Firmino shared six years together and formed two-thirds of an iconic attacking partnership alongside Mo Salah.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Al Ahli are keen for Mane and Firmino to reunite in the Gulf state.
