Sadio Mane decides on Bayern Munich destiny after fierce Thomas Tuchel warning
Sadio Mane desires to salvage his career at Bayern Munich despite the fact that the German titans are prepared to sell him during the summer transfer window.
Mane, 31, joined the Bundesliga champions in 2017 after concluding a successful tenure with Liverpool. However, the Senegalese international was unable to replicate his Premier League form in his first season in Munich.
After undergoing surgery in November for an injury to his right fibula, Mane struggled for form upon his return and was then suspended in April for allegedly striking teammate Leroy Sane in the face.
Mane completed the season with only 12 goals, casting doubt on his long-term future with the club.
According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has decided he is willing to sell Mane in the coming weeks, and the club is even willing to take a loss on the £35 million they spent on him last summer, with a £27.5 million price tag being suggested.
The report goes on to say that despite the fact that Mane could still depart the club, the former Liverpool player is determined to turn things around in Germany.
Despite the fact that Mane may wish to remain at the Allianz Arena, it remains to be seen whether Tuchel is willing to stick with the versatile forward after his weekend tirade.
Tuchel appeared to admonish Mane in front of the media that he wouldn’t be first-choice moving forward. He stated, “Sadio had a disappointing season and fell short of expectations.”
Sadio faces intense competition from Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, a constellation that makes his situation exceedingly difficult. The player is aware of this, as well as my and the club’s opinions.
Let’s see,” concluded the German. Strange events have occurred in football. In the end, the beginning position is difficult. Time will make us slightly more intelligent.”
Mane’s future may depend directly on whether Bayern can convince Tottenham to trade Harry Kane. The German titans’ initial offer for the English captain was rejected, but they continue to pursue the Spurs player, who has just one year remaining on his current contract.
President Uli Hoeness has already asserted that Kane is prepared to depart for Germany and a transfer agreement can be reached.
“Personally, I didn’t speak with him that often,” he told Kicker. Harry has made it abundantly plain in all discussions thus far that he has made his decision. And if it persists, we will pursue him. Then Tottenham will be forced to concede. Now he has another opportunity to join a prominent European club.”
