The Senegalese star could leave Bayern after his underwhelming debut campaign at the club.

Sadio Mane has reportedly agreed to join Al Nassr ahead of the next season.

The former Liverpool star arrived at Bayern Munich on a €32m deal last summer. However, he failed to find his best form at Allianz Arena, ending the season with only seven Bundesliga goals.

Mane was initially reluctant to accept a bid from Saudi Arabia. However, Bayern have sent a clear signal that the 31-year-old is not part of their plans for the next campaign.

It seems the Senegalese forward has changed his mind about a move to the middle east.

According to CBS journalist James Benge, Al Nassr have made a €40m/year proposal to Mane, hoping to link him up with Cristiano Ronaldo. Both the Saudi Arabian club and Bayern are optimistic about reaching an agreement over the next few days.

Mane’s possible departure would provide Bayern with more funds to secure a move for Harry Kane. The Bavarians will most likely make a third bid for the striker despite Spurs’ efforts to keep him for another season.

Bayern are also pushing to complete a move for Kyle Walker ahead of their friendly match against Manchester City in Tokyo.
