Senegalese soccer sensation Sadio Mane has disclosed that his mother played a significant part in persuading him to sign with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
The ex-Liverpool player had a challenging stint at Bayern during the 2022/2023 season, prompting his transfer to Al-Nassr in August for a fee of €30 million.
My family encouraged me to come to Saudi Arabia, especially since it is a Muslim country,” Mane said to EuroFoot.
“My mother was very happy and insisted that I chose Al-Nassr.”
