Half of England is puzzling over the reasons why superstar Sadio Mané (30) is leaving Liverpool for Munich – many experts have failed with attempts to explain. A friend of Mané’s offers a new approach.
Big club, big titles: The Senegalese journalist Mahmoud Gueye talks in the “TZ” about Sadio Mané’s motivation to switch to another league at the age of 30 – from Liverpool FC to Bayern Munich: “It was time for something new, for a new challenge. And Bayern offers him this opportunity: It’s a big club that fights for the Champions League title every year.”
Short, compact, clear
Mané suits FC Bayern: According to Gueye, the change has only advantages for both sides. Mané wants to write history again: “In my opinion, he fits perfectly with the values of the club – it fits together perfectly.” He is hungry for new titles.
Modest person: The journalist also raves about Sadio Mané in his private life: “You can spend hours with him and he never lets it be known that he is a soccer star. Sadio suddenly gets up and makes you some tea or coffee just to make you feel comfortable. He treats everyone as equals.”
