Bayern Munich ready to sell Sadio Mane

– Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are ready to offload forward Sadio Mane after just 12 months at the club.

Mane joined Bayern from Liverpool last summer in a deal worth around £35 million. Unfortunately the player from Senegal failed to reach the expected level by recording seven goals and four assists in 22 Bundesliga matches.

Off the pitch, Mane also attracted unwanted attention after a physical altercation with teammate Leroy Sane led to a suspension and fine.

quoted 90mni, PBayern’s new coach, Thomas Tuchel, is not impressed with Mane and has made it clear to those in charge at the Allianz Arena that he is prepared to offload the 31-year-old this summer.

Bayern have been planning to sign a new centre-forward this summer. A number of targeted strikers like Harry Kane from Tottenham and Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt are on their radar.

Tuchel is willing to cash in on Mane to help fund the move. One of the obstacles to releasing Mane is the question of his salary request, which may be difficult for interested clubs to fulfill.

Interest in Mane is thought to come from the Premier League. While playing in England, Mane has scored 111 goals and 47 assists in 263 matches for Liverpool and Southampton.

As well as a new centre-forward, Bayern are also said to be interested in Chelsea’s Kai Havertz and could seek a move for the German player this summer.

While Havertz has spent most of his Chelsea career as a midfielder, Bayern are understood to be looking at the 23-year-old as a replacement for Thomas Muller.
