After winning all possible trophies with Liverpool, Sadio Mane joined Bayern Munich last season. Many people then thought that Bayern would fulfill the absence of Robert Lewandowski's brilliance. However, in one season, that notion was proven wrong. Despite being injured for a significant part of the season, Mane failed to meet expectations at Bayern.

He distanced himself from the team, clashed with head coach Julian Nagelsmann, and had disagreements with his teammate Leroy Sane. Now it is reported that Mane has decided to sever ties with Senegal's star and Bayern, according to the German magazine Kicker. The magazine claims that this decision has been communicated to Mane.

Mane left Liverpool and joined Bayern on a three-year contract. He even scored a goal in his debut match in the Bundesliga. Everything seemed to be going well, but just 13 days before the World Cup, he suffered an injury against Werder Bremen. The injury ended his World Cup campaign. Even as a Bayern player, he missed nine matches. Later, Bayern authorities banned him for one match for an incident involving a clash with German forward Leroy Sane. All these factors have affected his value, which has decreased by €45 million in a year. The value of Mane has decreased by 64.3%.

In Germany, Mane did not have a good time altogether. He scored only 12 goals in 38 matches last season. That's why Bayern wants to sever ties with Mane. They want to use his salary and transfer fee in any other area. 

Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel's plan does not include Mane, so Bayern is proposing a big offer to Harry Kane to bring him to the team. Bayern is more interested in Kane. Initially, they offered €70 million for Kane. But as the deal did not materialize, several European media outlets have reported that the figure has now increased to €80 million.

If Bayern lets Mane go, his destination could be Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has reportedly made a tempting offer to the 31-year-old footballer, according to the German magazine Kicker.
