Meanwhile, former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld believes the signing of Senegal forward Sadio Mane could be a real boost for the German champions and the Bundesliga, regarding performance and marketability.
“Mane is a boost for the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich have drawn the right conclusions from last season and have significantly strengthened the squad,” the 73-year-old Hitzfeld said on Friday.
