Bayern Munich's new signing Sadio Mane has become the highest paid African footballer following his over £30m move from English giants Liverpool.
The Senegalese star called it quits on his six-year stint with Jurgen Klopp's side and sealed a move to the Allianz Arena that will see him earn £250,000-a-week.
He now surpasses his ex Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah, who is in talks with Liverpool that may see him receive the reported £400,000-a-week he is after.
Liverpool are known for having a firm wage structure, which they would have to break to retain the Egyptian's services for the future.
Mane was the joint 12th highest paid player at Liverpool, earning £100,000 per week despite being one of the best players at the club and in Europe.
