Sadio Mane has been left out of Bayern Munich’s squad for their preseason game.
The German champions said that the decision was necessary since the Senegalese was in discussion with another club over a possible transfer.
The forward is expected to move to Saudi club Al Nassr where he will play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the attack.
A Bayern statement revealed he was not included in the squad to face Japanese side Kawasaki on Saturday due to transfer negotiations.
It read: “Mane is in contract talks for a change of club and is therefore not in the squad today.”
