Sadio Mane says his dressing room argument with Leroy Sane is “behind us” as Bayern Munich prepare for a new season.
The former Liverpool forward was suspended by the German giants in April after reportedly punching Sane in the lip following Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League.
Reports in Germany suggested former City winger Sane suffered a bloodied lip before teammates jumped in to separate the pair.
Mane struggled to translate his Liverpool form after sealing a move to the Bundesliga champions and was recently named the League’s most disappointing player.
As a result, the 31-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, as well as to clubs in the lucrative Saudi Pro League.
Still, the Senegal forward insists he is looking forward to proving his worth under Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena next season.
“This kind of things can happen. It happened. We were able to solve this small problem,” Mane told reporters in Senegal.
“Sometimes it’s good to solve problems, but maybe not in this way. It’s behind us now. We’ll try to fight together to help the club achieve its goals next season.
“I’m on vacation with the family. It was a very complicated season, it happens. It wasn’t a surprise, I expected things to be a bit complicated. It’s normal.
“I love challenges, and Bayern is a big challenge. It’s up to me to do everything to meet this challenge.”
