Bacary Cisse, PR manager for Sadio Mane, has made some startling revelations about the Senegalese’s time in Bayern Munich, accusing the Bavarians of discrimination

After a disappointing end to his Bayern Munich career, Senegalese sensation Sadio Mane’s PR manager has hit out at the Bavarian club with several unsettling claims.

Mane’s manager explains Bayern exit

Mane joined Bayern Munich after a fruitful spell at Liverpool and was expected to be one of the Bundesliga’s leading players in the 2022/23 season, but a number of factors including a three-month injury lay off and disciplinary issues meant that the Senegalese forward was never able to live up to the initial hype.

After just one season, Mane was sold to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr, but his PR manager Bacary Cisse has neither forgiven nor forgotten the perceived ill treatment that he claims his client received.

Cisse told After Foot RMC that he believed that Mane was discriminated against by Bayern Munich due to his background and was sold because the Bavarians’ hierarchy did not want to keep an African player as one of their highest earners.

Cisse said, “It wasn't a footballing decision [to sell him]. 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.

Mane’s agent slams ungrateful Bayern Munich
Cisse was also adamant that his client Mane did not need to justify his earnings at Bayern Munich saying, “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.

“He was professional until the end. But the people in charge at Bayern weren't fair.”

After Mane’s move to Al-Nassr which will see him earn a sensational £33.8 million per year compared to his £17.3 million salary at Bayern Munich, Cisse also claimed that the Bundesliga side almost scuppered the deal by raising their demands for the winger when they realised he still had quality to offer.

He said “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).”

Despite his alleged treatment by the club, Cisse believes that Mane was always straightforward with Bayern Munich and never tried to use the club for their money.

“Sadio didn't steal his money, Cisse said, continuing, “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.”

Mane is just going through the same thing Africans go through because of our skin color...

Imagine if this guy na white guy, they would have placed 150m euros on a player of his calibre.

Oshimen use ur 🧠, these Racist can never rate you no matter what you do for them.

Reason why they chickened out of Victor Osimhen’s race … Our boy to better shine his eyes 👀 wella

It's all good now, he's earning double of what he was earning now.

I don't know, may things just didn't go well with the bayern deal.

First he got injured

Then issue of where he would play, through the middle or wing?

Then the bust-up with Leroy Sane in training when he punched him and got fined.

All in all, Sadio Mane was well underappreciated in Bayern. Goodluck playing with the goat.

I'm glad he left the racist club and settled for the club that he would be valued.

you're wrong... it wasn't a bust-up in training.. it was after the match against Manchester City when they to the dressing room..

Mane had issues with the former coach and Leroy Sane.

With his manager coming out to say this shows the kind of bad advisers Mane has around him. both Mane and his manager has just ruined a lot chances other African players may have to play for Bayern Munich.

Mane has bad behavior if his having issues with his coach.. I can understand the Leroy Sane issue due to Mane been older than him so Mane felt and feels Sane shouldn't talk to him anyhow...

he wasn't underappreciated.. his behavior is the reason they didn't keep him..

his manager should never have said such in the media...
