The deal that could see Bayern Munich outcast Sadio Mane join a new club is now said to be in its final stages.
The Senegal international is reportedly edging closer to ending his miserable spell at Bayern after just a single season with the club.

The 31-year-old fell short of expectations during that campaign, registering just 12 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions, with only one of those strikes being scored since the turn of the year.
The former Liverpool attacker was also sidelined for 105 days due to a leg injury, while a dressing-room bust-up with teammate Leroy Sane certainly did not help matters, with the incident said to have fractured his relations with some members of the squad.
His relationship with both former manager Julian Nagelsmann and the current man in charge, Thomas Tuchel, have not been good either, with Mane said to have intimidated the former, while the present tactician has already made it known that the 2022 CAF Men's Footballer of the Year has not justified his place in his team next season.
The Bavarian giants have since opened the door to his departure and there has been no shortage of interest in the attacker, with various clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia said to be mulling over his signature.
After reportedly rebuffing offers from both Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq, Mane now looks to nearing a move to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Nassr are now set to offer Bayern €37 million (R722 million) for the Lions of Teranga star, with the Saudi side said to be confident about getting the deal over the line.
