Hasan Salihamidzic has lured a real world star to Bayern Munich in Sadio Mané.
Is there a new contract as a reward?
Munich – That's an announcement: FC Bayern Munich signed Sadio Mané.
The world star, who has been one of the best offensive players on the planet for years, will enrich the Bundesliga from the new season.
The German champion shelled out 32 million euros to free the Senegalese from Liverpool FC.
Nine million euros could be added with bonuses.
Ultimately, the fans can thank Hasan Salihamidzic.
The sports director probably played the biggest part in Mané finding his way to the Bavarian capital.
How did Brazzo persuade the 30-year-old?
The ex-professional is said to have given the Africa Cup winner the prospect of being the big star in a big team.
At Liverpool, Mané has always been a bit overshadowed by Mohamed Salah.
In Munich, on the other hand, he should play the leading role.
In a good mood: Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.

Hasan Salihamidzic: New contract for the sports director of FC Bayern Munich?
Salihamidzic also put out feelers months ago and was in constant contact with consultant Björn Bezemer from the Munich-based agency "ROOF".
The two are said to have even exchanged views on Mallorca about possible transfers.
Ultimately with success.
The Mané change could mean a turning point for Salihamidzic.
Again and again he failed miserably with transfers.
Bouna Sarr, for example, is still a bench press and Marc Roca has been sold after two unsuccessful years.

writes in its current issue.
The timing could hardly be better, after all, Brazzo's contract with FC Bayern expires in the summer of 2023.
So is there an extension?
Quite possible, after all, Salihamidzic is now the sports director who guided Sadio Mané to Säbener Straße.
Success should also be essential for a new working paper - and that's where coach Julian Nagelsmann comes into play.
How does he set up the new FC Bayern?
He may even include a former Leipzig player in his starting eleven, because it is now clear that Konrad Laimer will leave the Bulls by 2023 at the latest.
