Mané is expected to leave the German champion after a single season that was marred by injury and a lack of goals. After Tuchel took over in March, he was often a bench player.

바카라�It was kind of sad. We had a long hug but we had both a smile on our faces and we assured ourselves to keep the good relationship. It바카라�s not personal from his side. I can totally understand that he feels hurt. I feel also not happy if things like this happen,바카라� Tuchel said in Singapore during Bayern바카라�s pre-season tour.

바카라�We didn바카라�t bring it to the full potential, which is my job also and my responsibility. So it바카라�s always kind of a sad moment but in this particular situation it was the best solution to untie the knot.바카라�

Mané is set to become the latest world football star to head to Saudi Arabia and would join up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

German broadcaster Sky Sport reported Monday that Mané had said it was painful to leave Bayern and that he believed he was still useful to the team.

Tuchel said he was surprised by the 바카라�gold rush바카라� unleashed by Saudi Arabia바카라�s clubs over the last year and compared it to similarly lavish spending in the Chinese league in the 2010s, something which has since eased up.

바카라�We바카라�re experiencing the next league who tries to become more popular, more famous, who tries to build a brand, and they convince a lot of players, a lot of quality players and even coaches,바카라� Tuchel said. 바카라�So a completely new situation and a bit too early for me to have a clear opinion. I바카라�m an observer, a surprised observer.바카라�
