Sadio Mane has reportedly rejected his latest opportunity to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

The Senegalese star arrived in Bavaria touted as one of the best players in world football and was expected by many to fill the Robert Lewandowski-sized hole in the German club's attack, and while he started off well at the Allianz Arena, the 31-year-old's situation with the two-time treble winners has deteriorated at a rapid speed.
After recovering from a leg injury, the attacker was reportedly involved in a verbal altercation with former Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann, and later a physical fight with teammate Leroy Sane. Couple that with his inconsistent form in 2023 and the record Bundesliga winners are said to have become disillusioned with the reigning CAF Men's Player of the Year.
While Mane has endured an erratic debut season in Germany, there appears to be a few clubs who would be more than willing to take the skilful attacker off Bayern's hands. With a number of Premier League sides having been heavily linked with the forward, it seems a new club has now entered the race for the west African's signature.
According to Foot Mercato, Saudi Pro League juggernauts Al Hilal are interested in signing the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations winner as they look to outdo Al Nassr's signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the 2018/19 Premier League Golden Boot winner has rejected the 2022/23 AFC Champions League finalists' advances.
