Senegal manager Aliou Cisse has backed his country’s talisman Sadio Mane to make the move to Bayern Munich in this summer’s transfer window.
The Liverpool winger has asked for a change in scenery ahead of the start of the new campaign and Bayern have emerged as the clear frontrunner for his signature despite having their opening two bids turned down.
Aliou Cisse, coach of the Senegal national team, has chipped in with his verdict on the entire episode with Cisse suggesting that Mane could prove to be the perfect fit for the Bundesliga holders Bayern, according to a report from Goal.
“I tell my boys to try to work out the contract issues so that when their respective championships resume, they will have already found a base.
“I heard about Sadio at Bayern. For me it is a club that is of its standing. Bayern is intense, pressing football with a German coach.
“Sadio played in Salzburg in Austria which is a border country, and that means he is not going into unknown territory.
“For me, the club where he will feel the best is Bayern.”
Liverpool are all set to line up a replacement for their outgoing wide player with Jurgen Klopp’s side on the verge of landing 22-year-old Urugyuan striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica with the player due for his medical shortly.
The Merseysiders will be forking out a club-record fee to sign the 34-goal forward who was one of the most in-demand names this summer with some of Europe’s biggest clubs involved in the chase.
