Sadio Mane gets the 17th round at FC Bayern Munich

Sadio Mane chose his shirt number at FC Bayern and chose a number that was not assigned last season.

Sadio Mane will wear jersey number 17 for Bayern Munich next season. This was announced by the German record champions on Sunday. Mane was few days ago presented as a new signing from Liverpool FC.

“I want to celebrate a lot of success with my team and this number,” said Mane on the Munich website.

Boateng, van Bommel, Ziege and Fink also wore 17

Jerome Boateng, who moved to Lyon last summer, wore the 17 at FC Bayern. No Bayern player chose this number in the past season. Well-known former Munich players with the 17 are Mark van Bommel, Christian Ziege and Thorsten Fink.

“Now I’m really looking forward to being able to start preparing for the season with my new teammates soon,” said Mane.
