Al Nassr have agreed a deal with Bayern Munich over Senegalese international, Sadio Mane, with the forward expected to complete a medical in the coming days.
The Saudi Arabian side have ‘verbally agreed’ a deal to sign the former Liverpool player, according to Fabrizio Romano, after a disappointing spell in the Bundesliga.
Making 38 appearances and scoring 12 goals for Thomas Tuchel’s side, the 31-year-old failed to show the consistency that he managed in the red of Liverpool.
In Bayern Munich’s last three Bundesliga matches, the former Southampton winger played a combined nine minutes and failed to appear in the club’s title-clinching victory against FC Koln.
However, Mane’s on-field performances were not the main issue in Germany, as after Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League, he had an alleged physical altercation with teammate, Leroy Sane.
The Bundesliga champions suspended the Senegal international for one match, causing rumours over the relationship between Mane and his teammates to circulate.
Bayern have been keen to sell their out-of-favour winger leave this summer and the Senegalese international is reportedly set to complete a medical at Al-Nassr this weekend.

Saudi Arabia has seen football become more and more popular over recent years, with one of the best players throughout history, Cristiano Ronaldo, signing in January this year.
This summer window has seen a plethora of elite players follow suit, as N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema, Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy have all moved to the ever-progressing country.
Former teammate of Mane, Jordan Henderson, has reunited with former teammate and now El-Ettifaq manager, Steven Gerrard – joining the Saudi Arabian side for around £13m.
A fee has yet to be confirmed however, as Sadio Mane has two-years remaining on his current deal, he could cost up to £30m and would end a torrid year at Bayern Munich.
