Sadio Mane facing summer transfer switch; Real Madrid hero desperate to play with him
Sadio Mané, a former Liverpool star, may be on the verge of a summer transfer to the Saudi Pro League, according to Ben Jacobs, a CaughtOffside columnist on X (formerly Twitter).
Jacobs indicates that Al-Ittihad is increasing their efforts to sign the Senegalese forward. Karim Benzema is particularly enthusiastic about the potential move, believing that Mané could greatly enhance Nadi Al-Sha’ab’s chances in the title race.
Benzema’s interest in bringing Mané to Al-Ittihad makes sense, given the team’s already impressive roster of top European players like Houseem Aouar, N’Golo Kanté, Jota, and Moussa Diaby.
Additionally, Mané would have the chance to play with one of football’s greats, Cristiano Ronaldo, at Al-Nassr, which boasts a lineup of elite athletes.
Despite these opportunities, there remains a strong belief that the former Bayern Munich star could spend his prime years at a leading European club, competing on major stages of club football.
Ultimately, the choice is Mané’s, and it’s evident that such a move would be financially rewarding for him and his family.
