Sadio Mane, a striker from Senegal, was said to be in talks with Bayern Munich “about a change of club” on Saturday. Rumors said that he was headed to the Saudi club Al Nassr.
In a social media post, the German champions explained why Mane wasn’t playing in a friendly game in Tokyo: “Sadio Mane is in contract negotiations about a change of club and is therefore not in the line-up today.”
The former Liverpool star, 31, is anticipated to be the newest well-known player to join the lucrative Saudi league.
