This development comes as a surprise, considering Mané’s relatively recent transfer to Liverpool just a year ago. According to Sky Germany, Bayern Munich initially considered a transfer fee of €20 million for Mané, but they have now raised their demands to a minimum of €32 million. This represents a significant increase of €12 million from the original price.
Furthermore, reports suggest that representatives from Al Nassr and Al Ahli have engaged in discussions with Mané’s team regarding a potential move. It remains to be seen whether these discussions will lead to concrete offers or if other clubs will enter the race for Mané’s signature.
With Bayern Munich’s raised asking price, it remains uncertain whether any club will meet their new valuation for Sadio Mané. However, the increased interest from Saudi clubs suggests that there is a market for the talented forward. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Mané’s next move and whether he will depart the Allianz Arena after just a year with the club.
The decision by Bayern Munich to raise Sadio Mané’s transfer fee has caused a stir in the football world. The increased interest from Saudi clubs has forced the German champions to reassess their initial valuation of the Senegalese striker. As the transfer saga unfolds, football fans will eagerly watch the developments, curious to see which club will eventually secure Mané’s services.
