Sadio Mane: "When I heard Bayern Munich was interested in me, I was immediately excited."

"When my agency first told me about Bayern's interest, I was immediately excited," Sadio Mane remarked after finalizing his transfer to Bayern Munich.

"I noticed myself there immediately... It is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the team consistently contends for victories.

"So for me, coming here was a very excellent idea and the appropriate one."

Wednesday saw the official closing of Mane's £27 million transfer from Liverpool to Bayern.

If Robert Lewandowski manages to force through his departure prior to the start of the upcoming season, the Senegalese forward might serve as a prospective replacement.
