Defeated by Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup on Saturday night, Al-Nassr suffered another setback. A complicated evening where Cristiano Ronaldo particularly distinguished himself, and not necessarily in the best way. If the Portuguese scored the only goal of his team during this match, he especially made people talk about him by displaying his discontent, in the face of the performance of his teammates. In addition to this setback, another issue is causing a stir within the Saudi team: the future of Sadio Mané (32 years old).

Transferred to Al-Nassr in August 2023 after a stint with Bayern Munich, the Senegalese international (107 caps, 43 goals) is coming off a rather encouraging first season with 19 goals and 11 assists in 46 matches in all competitions. Yes, but despite this honorable performance, the Bambaly native may not stay long at the Riyadh-based club.

Trained in Metz before learning the ropes at RB Salzburg and Southampton, Mané led Liverpool’s attack for a long time before going into exile in Germany, with Bayern Munich. After a rich career in Europe, the Senegalese player finally also chose to join Saudi Arabia, renowned for its ability to offer real golden bridges. Under contract until June 2026, the left winger could therefore experience a new challenge in the coming weeks. To do this, he will have to reach an agreement with the potential interested clubs.
