FC Bayern secured his services until 2025.

Update, 4:57 p.m .:

What is the biggest challenge for Mané?

"I was lucky enough to play in France, Austria and England.

As I said, I've always worked very hard to play in the biggest clubs and Bayern is part of that, so one of the biggest clubs in the world.

If you know you're playing for Bayern, you know what you're preparing for."

Update, 4:54 p.m .:

Mané now has to get used to the German language again.

"Well, I know a few things from Salzburg, like "Gemma" or "Grüß Gott", things like that.

But I'm here now and the most important thing is that you come back in a few months and I speak better German."

Update, 4:51 p.m .:

Does Mané already feel a bit at home?

"It's my second day here and I've talked to a lot of fans, it's a beautiful city.

I'm very excited and happy to be able to live here.

I love this city."

Update, 4:49 p.m .:

And now I have the chance to play here.”

Update, 4:46 p.m .:

With Bouna Sarr, Mané meets a colleague from the Senegalese national team.

"Yes, I spoke to him with the national team and he was very happy that I was coming."

"When I played at Liverpool we fought for every title.

I was looking for exactly this task in Munich because Bayern are fighting for every title."

"When I spoke to him, he was a little sad, but at the same time he wished me well."

Update, 4:41 p.m .:

"I spent six wonderful years in Liverpool, of course nobody was happy about my departure but that's part of it.

However, I was looking for a new job and now I'm very hungry.

Kloppo wanted to keep me but he understood me and the club accepted it.

I wish Liverpool the very best.”

Update 4.39pm:

What is the difference between the Mané who joined Liverpool in 2016 and the Mané today?

"I think it's the same Sadio, but good question!

Maybe I'm just hungrier and want to achieve something big with the club here."

Update, 4:36 p.m .:

Can Mané wear number 7 or number 9 next season?

That would require Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski to leave.

“That radiates inwards to the team, but not much has changed with Robert.

He still has a contract until 2023 and we're happy if he shows up with us on the first day of training," says Oliver Kahn.

What shirt number will the Senegalese wear?

“It's not a bad thing for me, but of course there are some exciting numbers.

Update, 4:29 p.m .:

I think I've gathered enough information already.”

Update, 4:24 p.m .:

In which position does Mané see himself?

“You have to pass this question on (points to Nagelsmann).

Just not in defense or in goal - I'd rather be up front in attack, I think that would be better for the club too."

Update, 4:22 p.m .:

Who will Mané bring with him?

"I think I left my parents' house when I was 19, it wasn't easy for me.

I could handle it, but of course I want my whole family - especially my parents - to be here.

My mother doesn't want to leave me alone here, but I also have my friends and my uncle around me.

But I am a big boy and I can live on my own, but in the future I would like to live with them, yes.”

We'll see how the whole thing develops."

Update, 4:18 p.m .:

To what extent was Julian Nagelsmann responsible for Mané’s decision-making?

I said yes straight away, I just see myself here and as a support for the team.

So I made the decision immediately.”
