Bayern Munich star, Sadio Mane, is reportedly set to begin negotiations with Al-Nassr over a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Making 38 appearances and scoring 12 goals for Thomas Tuchel’s side, the 31-year-old has failed to show the consistency that he managed at 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 have been overshadowed by controversy behind the scenes. After Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, Mane 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 are prepared to let the former Liverpool winger leave this summer and the Senegalese international has reportedly began negotiations with Saudi Arabian side, Al-Nassr.

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.
Liverpool duo, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho are also set for a move to Saudi Arabia, as Henderson is close to a reunion with former teammate and now El-Ettifaq manager, Steven Gerrard.
Sadio Mane has two-years remaining on his current deal, meaning he could cost up to £30m and would end a torrid year in Germany.
Newcastle had shown interest in the former Liverpool star, however negotiations with Al-Nassr are said to be progressing and could be completed before the end of this week.
