How My Mother Convinced Me To Join Al-Nassr – Mane

Senegalese international, Sadio Mane says his mother played an important role in convincing him to join Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Recall that the former Liverpool player had spent just a year with Bayern but struggled amid a serious leg injury and off-the-field drama.

Mane joined Al-Nassr from Bayern Munich in August for €30 million.

In a chat with EuroFoot, Mane stated that it was easier for her mother to convince him to join Al-Nassr.

“My family encouraged me to come to Saudi Arabia, especially since it is a Muslim country,” Mane said (via EuroFoot).

“My mother was very happy and insisted that I chose Al-Nassr.”
