Although Sadio Mane’s situation at the club didn’t work out, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel remarked on Tuesday that he felt his departure was for the best.
The Senegal attacker, who only recently signed with Bayern, is one of an increasing number of athletes leaving for Saudi Arabia.
The 31-year-old is allegedly close to signing a $45 million contract to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr.
Mane expressed regret at his move to Sky Germany, saying: “Leaving Bayern hurts me. I would have preferred a different conclusion.
On the eve of his team’s friendly match against Liverpool, Tuchel spoke in Singapore and reinforced those ideas.
The Bayern coach stated, “We had a long, huge hug and we both agreed that while we don’t enjoy what is occurring right now, we think it’s for the best in this situation.
“Occasionally, things don’t turn out the way everyone hopes they will. I’ve always had a great relationship with him in person, and that will continue.I completely understand how hurt he is, and if something like this occurred to me, I would likewise not be happy.
Naturally, we didn’t use it to its maximum capacity, which is my duty and my responsibility, but in this particular case, it was the best way to untie the knot.
Mane is leaving Bayern, but the German club is also being linked with a bid for Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane. Club executives are reportedly making their way to London on Monday to negotiate a deal with the Premier League team.
Tuchel stated that the club is clear about the players they intend to acquire during the transfer window despite his refusal to address the future of the England captain.
In our situation, he stated, “I think it’s crucial to take firm stances and concentrate on a select group of players to strengthen the squad.”
