He has been seen wearing Bayern kit and has finished his first interview with journalists in the nation where he will now pursue his career, despite neither club having officially declared the deal. The sum might increase to £35.1m.
“I was ecstatic when my representative first informed me of Bayern’s interest.
“I instantly recognized myself there. One of the biggest clubs in the world, they are continually competing for championships. Therefore, coming here was a wise choice and a really excellent one in my opinion.
“My agent informed me that other clubs had inquired. But when Bayern explained their strategy to me, I immediately felt it. I was included in Bayern’s plan more often than anyone else,” Mane told BILD.
