Sadio Mane is about to be Ronaldo's teammate

Bayern no longer wanted to keep Mane after just one season, so he was reluctant to leave. Al Nassr is looking to recruit the Senegal star, and has begun negotiating with Mane the terms of the contract. Once the two sides reach an agreement, the Saudi club can negotiate a transfer fee with Bayern. Mane still has two years left on his contract, but his price may not be high, as Bayern want to sell.

Mane joined Bayern in the summer of 2022, but scored just 12 goals in 38 games last season. In many important matches, he was not even allowed to start. Mane also punched teammate Leroy Sane after losing to Man City in the Champions League quarter-finals on April 13, 2023. Both players apologized, but the German media said that Mane no longer had a chance to correct his mistakes at Bayern.

Al Nassr has just recruited midfielder Marcelo Brozovic from Inter for $ 20 million, but they still want to add a star to stand by Cristiano Ronaldo. They have just lost to Aston Villa in the race for attacking player Moussa Diaby. Al Nassr also considered recruiting defender Alex Telles from Man Utd and the two sides reached an oral agreement, but in the end the Saudi League club changed its mind.

Mane reached the peak of his career with Liverpool, with the 2019 Champions League and English Premier League titles in 2020. He was included in the Premier League team of the year four times, including the 2018-19 season's top scorer award. He is expected to join Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca to form Al Nassr's attacking trio next season.
