Sadio Mane is now reportedly being considered as a potential new signing for one of Spain's biggest clubs.
Mane's misfortunes over the past year are well-documented, and he could leave Bayern Munich just one season into the three-year deal he signed with the club back in July 2022.

A combination of poor performances, injury and a fight that left his teammate Leroy Sane with a bleeding lip are the catalysts to a potential ousting in Bavaria, with some of his colleagues believed to have turned their back on the Senegal international.
He has since been linked with a series of clubs in varying countries, including a return to England with either Chelsea or Newcastle United, and a move to Italy, where both Juventus and AS Roma are seen as possible destinations.
An unnamed Saudi Arabian team also has the 31-year-old on their radar, but it is believed the forward is not interested in leaving Europe just yet.
According to a new report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are weighing up the possibility of signing Mane following the recent departures of Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Coupled with both Eden Hazard and Mariano Diaz's exits, Los Blancos currently find themselves short of options in attack and would be keen to find capable reinforcements.
It is understood that Real previously made a move for the Lions of Teranga talisman during Zinedine Zidane's tenure in Madrid, but the player's then-club, Liverpool, refused to sell.
The 2022 CAF Footballer of the Year is once again reportedly an option for the LaLiga powerhouses, who are also said to be weighing up other potential signings for the upcoming campaign, such as Joselu, Alvaro Morata, Kai Havertz and Harry Kane.
