Sadio Mané is considered Bayern Munich’s king transfer this summer. Munich and English runners-up FC Liverpool are said to have come a long way in terms of a possible transfer fee, but there was no agreement until recently. Meanwhile, Mané’s national coach Aliou Cissé no longer has any doubts that FC Bayern will be the best address for his best player.
For the coach of the Senegalese national team, it is clear that Mané would get along very well with the German record champions: “For me, FC Bayern is the club where he will feel most comfortable,” he is quoted as saying in consistent media reports.
The 46-year-old has been coaching the Senegalese squad for seven years and celebrated his greatest career success by winning the Africa Cup this spring.
“Sadio played at Salzburg in Austria. It’s on the border with Germany and that means he’s not venturing into uncharted territory,” Cissé explained.
In addition, Mané would like the game of the German series champion, which is why he does not assume that the 30-year-old will have a long time to settle in at Bayern: “For me, this is a club that corresponds to his standing. Bayern plays intensive, powerful football with a progressive coach “, said Cissé about his colleague Julian Nagelsmann.
Mané coach: ‘Best Senegalese footballer of all time’
Until the end, the Munich and the Reds were still haggling over the transfer terms for Sadio Mané. Liverpool are said to have moved away from their €50m demand and most recently asked €45m for the winger.
According to the latest rumors, the Bayern bosses have so far offered 35 million euros. A further approach to the final agreement should therefore only be a matter of a few days.
Aliou Cissé recently introduced the star he was courting as “best Senegalese footballer of all time“. Mané has been under contract with Liverpool FC since 2016.
