Bayern Munich's president confirmed Wednesday that the club is aware of "initial talks" around a reported move for forward Sadio Mané from the German champion to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, where he could team up with Cristiano Ronaldo. "FC Bayern is informed about this," club president Herbert Hainer said in Japan during a pre-season tour, in quotes reported by German news agency dpa. A Premier League and Champions League winner with Liverpool, Mané would be the latest in a series of big-name players in Saudi clubs' signing spree. Mané has two years left on his contract with Bayern after a disappointing and injury-hit first season since joining from Liverpool last year. On Tuesday, Hainer described Mané's first season at Bayern as "certainly not satisfactory, neither for him, nor for us," dpa reported.
