Bayern Munich inform Sadio Mane he is not in their plan for next season

Bayern are already looking to get rid of the wide forward after his poor season in Germany

According to rumours in Germany, Bayern Munich are willing to let Sadio Mane go after only a single year. According to Kicker, Sadio Mane has already been notified by club authorities that they do not have any plans to use him in the upcoming season.

With Saudi Arabia as a potential possibility, Bayern will now look for a way to get rid of the player that would satisfy both their need for compensation and the player's wage expectations.

Mane left Liverpool for Bayern in the summer of 2017 and signed a three-year contract. The Senegalese player, however, had a terrible season as a result of injury, which also negatively impacted his on-field performances and cost him the chance to represent his nation at a World Cup.

In April, those resentments infamously burst out in Manchester when Mane punched teammate Leroy Sane in the changing room at the Etihad Stadium.

Furthermore, a club eager to rebuild after a turbulent season that miraculously resulted in them still being named Bundesliga champions would benefit from his departure as only seven goals marked a poor return for a star signing.

His performance plummeted following the midseason break for the World Cup in Qatar, scoring just one Bundesliga goal. He also got into an altercation in the locker room with Leroy Sane, an ex-Manchester City player, for which new manager Thomas Tuchel suspended him.

According to earlier rumours, Bayern was already eager to offload Mane in order to reclaim a sizeable portion of the price they paid for him. He has now received clear confirmation that he has no prospects with the German champions.

Sane is the club's highest-paid player, so his quick departure might offer Bayern some leeway in their signing of Harry Kane.
