Having gone into exile in Saudi Arabia last summer, Sadio Mané was invited to join OM by his compatriot Iliman Ndiaye.

After spending six years in the heyday of Liverpool and a complicated stint of just one season at Bayern Munich, Sadio Mané decided to join Saudi Arabia last summer, where he signed up for the club. Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr. One more figure in world football who has given in to the Saudi golden bridge, but whose return to Europe is hoped for…

Mané’s teammate in the selection, Iliman Ndiaye, recruited this summer by Olympique de Marseille, was full of praise for the Senegalese star, even admitting to having invited him to join him in the Marseille city in the future.

“I told him he could come to OM”

“It’s exceptional to play with him, he puts you at ease and gets you out of trouble on the pitch. He has experience, he gives me a lot of advice. I told him he could come to OM”Ndiaye told the daily Provence.

If an arrival of Sadio Mané on the Canebière seems illusory to date, the latter has never hidden his attachment to the residents of the Vélodrome stadium. But the 40 million euros per year received by the 31-year-old striker. As a reminder, the former Red is linked to Al-Nassr until June 2026.
