A number of Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly eyeing a move for Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane.

Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly interested in signing Sadio Mane from German champions Bayern Munich.

The experienced forward could be on his way out of the Allianz Arena just a year after completing a £25m move from Liverpool.

Mane, who scored 12 goals in 38 competitive appearances last term, experienced a tumultuous campaign with the German side.

Despite having two years left to run on his contract, Bayern are seemingly willing to let the 31-year-old leave this summer.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the former Liverpool man is attracting interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Ahli are said to be leading the race for the forward, while other Saudi Arabian clubs are waiting to establish if Mane would be open to a move.

There is a belief that Al-Ahli are prioritising a deal for Mane, and as a result, they will step up their pursuit in the next few days.

The reigning Saudi Pro League champions are keen to reunite Mane with his ex-Liverpool teammate Roberto Firmino.

Firmino was unveiled as an Al-Ahli player on Tuesday after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season following the expiry of his contract.

Mane and Firmino played in a prolific front three alongside Mohamed Salah for several years, before the Senegal international left last summer.

The successful forward line of Mane, Salah and Firmino guided Liverpool to multiple honours, including a Champions League trophy and a Premier League title.

The Brazil international put pen to paper on a three-year deal, becoming the latest player to move to Saudi Arabia from the Premier League.

Edouard Mendy recently completed a move from Chelsea to Al-Ahli, while Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Neves have all joined the Saudi Pro League this summer.
