With one hundred twenty goals, 48 assists, and six trophies in six years, Sadio Mane has one of the best Liverpool signings in their history. The 20-year-old joined as one of the first recruits under Jurgen Klopp back in 2016, and after winning it, all is now leaving the club. The winger has already agreed on personal terms with Bayern Munich. Media reports have said that the discussion between the two clubs over fees is in the final stages.
Welcome to #FCBayern, Sadio Mané!

It is no doubt that Bayern Munich will have a special player, one which might best the blow of Robert Lewandowski’s departure if it does happen. The Senegalese will provide a new dimension to the attack of FC Bollywood. While on the domestic front, Bayern have been unstoppable, winning their 10th consecutive Bundesliga title in May. However, after winning the Champions League in 2020, they have performed well below expectations in the Champions League.
And now, with Mane’s signing, Bayern has a player who has prior experience winning all the big trophies. So, how Mane will fit at the club? Will he be Lewandowski’s successor? And is he worth the money that Bayern are splurging on him?
Sadio Mane playing style and analysis
At Liverpool, Sadio Mane has gone through three phases. When he arrived at the club in 2016, he was deployed on the right wing by Klopp. The following season he was moved to the left after Mohamed Salah’s arrival. However, as he formed a brilliant triumvirate with Salah and Roberto Firmino, the Liverpool frontline became interchangeable. Doing this for five consecutive seasons has now made Mane a player capable of playing anywhere across the frontline.
Due to this, Mane has developed traits identified with wingers and strikers. For example, he can use pace, skills and dribbling to get past his opponents and be on the end of a chance to score the goal. And while he has played both roles, he is far more devastating as a striker.
Mane played 22 times on the left last season, scoring nine goals and providing one assist. While he only played nine times as a forward, scoring seven goals and providing one assist.
