Mane has joined the Saudi Pro League side in a deal worth around £34million, with the Senegal international set to team up with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle-East.

Meanwhile, Bayern boss Tuchel also delivered his verdict on Mane and admitted he takes responsibility for Mane's downfall in form - despite only being appointed as the club's head coach in March. Mane netted 12 goals in 38 games during his only season at the German giants. "We had a big hug," Tuchel said. "We agreed that we don't like what's happening now but that it's the best in this situation. I totally understand that he feels hurt. I also don't feel happy. We didn't bring it to the full potential which is my responsibility." Mane could face an awkward reunion with Gerrard on the opening weekend after the latter tried to convince him to stay at Anfield. The former Reds captain told BT Sport in May 2022: "I know there is a bit of noise around Mane... Why would you want to){kind=link}
