Sadio Mane: How Bayern Munich Winger’s Move to Al Nassr Could Cost Liverpool Millions

• Sadio Mane is on the verge of joining Al-Nassr despite joining Bayern Munich a year ago
• The Senegalese fell out of favour with the club after physically assaulting teammate Leroy Sane
• The former Liverpool forward will earn a reported £34m per season in Saudi Arabia

Sadio Mane is nearing a move to Saudi Arabia Pro League side Al-Nassr, and some details of the transfer will not be good news to his former club Liverpool.

The Senegalese joined Bayern Munich last summer after six years at Anfield and is now set for another move after just a season with the German champions.

Mane fell out with the club after physically assaulting teammate Leroy Sane, leaving him with cut lips after the 3-0 UEFA Champions League loss to Manchester City.

According to Fan Nation, the move to Saudi Arabia will earn the Bavarians £34.5m more than they paid Liverpool a year ago for the transfer of the former Southampton forward.

Liverpool to lose on Mane

According to Mirror UK, Bayern paid an initial £27.5m to the Reds for Mane, with a potential £7.5m linked to appearance and achievement add-ons.

That would be cut short now that the player is moving after just a year, with their 11th German title only earning the Anfield outfit as low as £2.5m in his first year.

The Senegal national team captain was on a wage of £13m per year m, which is almost tripled to £34m to join Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.

He scored 12 goals in 38 games last season and missed nearly four months after a leg injury, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where his country was eliminated by England in the round of 16.
