Sadio Mane has confessed the truth about his transfer to Bayern Munich

On Thursday, July 21, Sadio Mane referred to Bayern Munich as the “perfect” fit for his career.

Mane stated he was “thrilled” to begin the season with the German club in an interview prior to the CAF Awards in Rabat, where he was named player of the year just one day after making his debut with Bayern in an exhibition game against DC United.

“I think it was an exceptional year, me and my team-mates we won the Africa Cup of Nations. It was not easy at all and we did it all together. I changed club, it is a good time and it is the ideal club for me. I’m very happy and thrilled to start the new season.” Mane said.

The 30-year-old left Liverpool to sign a contract with Bayern through June 2025 in a deal that could end up being worth 41 million euros ($42.9 million) depending on future achievements at the Bavarian powerhouse.

Mane just completed what was arguably the best season of his career, converting the clinching penalty in a shootout to win the African Cup of Nations for Senegal, helping his country qualify for the World Cup, and starring for Liverpool in a campaign where the club nearly achieved an unprecedented quadruple of major trophies.
