Sadio Mane's PR manager has sensationally claimed the forward's exit from Bayern Munich was not for footballing reasons but because they couldn't understand how an African star was their highest-paid player.
Mane's transfer to Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr for £34 million was officially confirmed on Tuesday, bringing an end to his disappointing stint at Bayern.
The 31-year-old, now set to earn an astonishing £34 million per year (£650,000 per week), has linked up with Cristiano Ronaldo's team in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Nassr have also made significant signings this summer, including Seko Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles.

FootballMane's transfer to Bayern Munich for £35 million last year didn't go as smoothly as expected, as he encountered difficulties in adapting to life in Germany and only managed to score 12 goals during his time at the club.
Additionally, he found himself embroiled in a well-publicized dispute with fellow teammate Leroy Sane.
Upon his move from Liverpool, it was reported that Mane was offered an annual salary exceeding €20 million (£17.3 million), positioning him among the club's highest-paid players.
Mane's high wages combined with his disappointing form meant he was heavily criticised but Bacary Cisse, Mane's PR manager, hit back at the club's treatment of him and insisted other significant factors played a part in his departure.
