It was a tectonic shake when Bayern decided to sack Julian Nagelsmann and hire Thomas Tuchel instead. The decision will likely have a lasting impact on the Bavarians’ fortunes in the next couple of years, but the most immediate effect will be felt by Sadio Mane.The Senegal captain switched Liverpool for Munich last year but has endured a brutal campaign. Not only he had to adjust to life at a new club but was also hit by an injury that forced him to miss the World Cup in Qatar. And the latest news coming from Germany suggests that he will be the first in line to be sold before the start of the 2023/24 season.The 4 African players at Bayern Munich Noussair Mazraoui Morocco 🇲🇦 Sadio Mane Senegal 🇸🇳 Bouna Sarr Senegal 🇸🇳 Eric Chuopo Moting Cameroon 🇨🇲 @soka25east pic.twitter.com/KvHPeoWLYG— Collins Okinyo (@bedjosessien) May 29, 2023 According to Sport1, Tuchel has indicated that he’ll use the trident of Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane.Mane’s subpar performances and his off-the-field distractions probably caused him not to endear himself to his new boss. Selling the former Liverpool star will not be easy, however, as his $25 million salary could make him unattainable to many bidders.##NAJAVA_MECA_7298537##Meanwhile, Gnabry, who is drawing transfer interest from Arsenal, did himself well by putting together a few strong weeks at the end of the season.With a striker, a defensive midfielder, and a centre-back already on Tuchel’s transfer agenda, cutting back costs on a fourth winger might be a welcomed proposition.
