Sadio Mane's PR manager has made some shock accusations about Bayern Munich after selling the Senegalese star to Al Nassr.
Bacary Cisse, the player's PR manager, has criticised the Bundesliga outfit for their treatment of Mane, who only spent on season at the club before joining Al Nassr.
The Bavarians have been accused of not being happy with the amount of money the Senegalese star earned during his time in Munich and lying about wanting to get rid of him.

"It wasn't a footballing decision (to sell him),' Cisse told After Foot RMC.
"Sadio's salary bothered the Germans, they didn't understand how an African joins the club and becomes the top earner ahead of everyone, so they wanted to get rid of him.
"They never called the player's representatives. They never told Sadio face-to-face that they wanted to get rid of him. They just sent (Thomas) Tuchel to tell him that he will be a third choice left winger.
"Sadio has nothing to prove to the Germans. He didn't become what he's become thanks to Bayern. It was thanks to Liverpool. Bayern were ungrateful. They were paying an African all this money, and that hurt them."
Cisse also criticised the Bundesliga side for how unprofessional they were during the current off-season.
"He was professional until the end. But the people in charge at Bayern weren't fair.
"They first leaked to the media they were ready to sell him for €20m (£17.3m). But after he returned to training and they saw he was doing well, they raised the price to €30m (£25.9m).
"Sadio didn't steal his money. From the first meeting with Bayern, he gave them his word that he would join, without talking about the salary. His representatives negotiated that salary for him."
