The 30-year-old completed a surprise switch to the Bundesliga champions in the previous transfer window after six incredibly successful years under Jurgen Klopp's management at Anfield.
Following a bright start to life in Germany, the goals have dried up for Mane, with recent reports suggesting the ex-Southampton and Red Bull Salzburg star is struggling to adapt at the Bavarians.
Salihamidzic has now admitted he is constant conversation with the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations winner, and believes he needs time to adjust to his new surroundings.
"Sadio still needs a little time, he has to get used to the Bundesliga too, but he will. I speak regularly with him," he told Bild.
"I know what it's like to arrive as a newcomer to a team, in a different country, in a different city, in a slightly different football culture.
"Sadio is in this process, everything will soon be more familiar to him and we will soon see that on the pitch too.
"He is one of the best players in the world, we will still have a lot of joy with him."
