It was expected and it is now official: after only one season spent in Bavaria, Senegalese striker Sadio Mané (31) leaves Bayern Munich and joins the Saudi club Al-Nassr. The Senegalese international signed a 3-year contract there with an annual salary of around more than €40m per year. In the shadow of some other rumors from European strikers, the top scorer in the history of the Lions of the country of Teranga was another hot topic that punctuated the summer transfer window and the offensive lines market in recent weeks.

With this rookie, the Saudi League registers a new big name in this summer transfer window. The former Liverpool player comes to fill a championship largely strengthened thanks to the support of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund Public Invest Fund (PIF), which has taken control of four of the biggest clubs in the Pro League – Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal , Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli. In his new club, Sadio Mané will count among his teammates Cristiano Ronaldo, Seko Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles but also David Ospina and Ghislain Konan. At 31, the native of Bambali will discover his fifth championship after having walked the lawns of Ligue 1 (FC Metz), the Austrian Bundesliga (RB Salzburg), the Premier League (Southampton and Liverpool) and the German Bundesliga recently (Bayern) .

Divorce recorded with Bayern

The future of Sadio Mané at Bayern Munich had been darkened in recent weeks. In difficulty for his first season in Germany (38 games, 12 goals), against a background of tension and the fault of a nasty injury which kept him off the lawns for a time, the Senegalese striker was more than ever announced on the departure . Indeed, his coach Thomas Tuchel did not count on him for the coming season in Bavaria, largely disappointed by his performances and the antithesis of the face displayed when he played for Liverpool. Placed on the list of undesirables, the reigning German champion was open to a departure from his center forward and listening to proposals. Coveted for a time by the other Saudi clubs of Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq, it is finally Al-Nassr who wins the bet.

While Bayern were waiting for an offer of at least €30m including bonus, the price of his transfer last summer from Liverpool, the Bavarians sold the 31-year-old striker for an amount of around €37m. euros.
