On Sunday evening, FC Bayern announced that Sadio Mané will wear shirt number 17 in Munich. His predecessors differ.
In the coming season, fans of FC Bayern will probably see the shirt number 17 more often again: King transfer Sadio Mané takes it over from Michael Cuisance, who had only been substituted twice under Julian Nagelsmann and was finally given away permanently to Venice in the winter.
More prominent representatives of the number “17” at FC Bayern were previously Jerome Boateng and Mark van Bommel – albeit two players with a slightly less refined approach to the game than the 30-year-old Senegalese.
In addition, midfielder Thorsten Fink and winger Christian Ziege wore this number at FCB, as it has been permanently assigned since the 1995/96 season.
