Mane will join the likes of Ronaldo, Alex Telles, and Marcelo Brozovic in Al-Nassr who will be looking to claim the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League title.

A busy summer for Saudi Arabian clubs means Al-Nassr will not be allowed to coast to the title after current holders Al-Ittihad signed Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, while challengers Al-Hilal have also improved their squad with several new additions.

Mane to end disappointing Bayern Munich stay

Mane joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022 after six years at Liverpool, hoping for a new start and more recognition, but the Senegalese’s time in Munich has been fraught with bad times.

Bayern Munich stars Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane reportedly fought after losing to Manchester City

After failing to hit the ground with the expected intensity after joining Bayern Munich, Mane suffered a calf injury midway through the season, forcing him to miss the 2022 World Cup.

His time in Bavaria went from bad to worse after he recovered from the injury when he was suspended and fined the largest amount in Bayern Munich history for hitting teammate Leroy Sane after the team’s UEFA Champions League loss to Manchester City.
