However, Mane was often absent from important matches of the German football giant and had a fight with his teammate Sane, which made the coaching staff very unhappy.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich are trying to recruit Harry Kane. After the 60 million euro offer was rejected, the team is planning to raise the price to 80 million euros for the signature of the England striker.
