Sadio Mane has ended his time in Europe and joined the Saudi Arabia 'train' with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, after an underwhelming year at Bayern Munich.
Mane joined the German champions just a year ago from Liverpool after six successful years at Anfield, where he won six trophies including the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League.
According to Football 365, he will earn a whopping £650,000 per week after signing a three-year contract, but how does he compare to other Africans in the Saudi Pro League?

FootballThe tricky Algerian winger joined Al-Ahli after five successful years at Manchester City. The English champions received £30.4mil, according to The Athletic, while Mahrez will earn £750,000 per week on a three-year contract, topping Mane's wages.
Honest take - Koulibaly probably shouldn't have left Napoli, who the Serie A title in his first season away after he spent eight years at the club. Chelsea shipped him to Saudi Arabia after a year in which he failed to settle at the club. He signed a three-year contract and earns £300,000 weekly, much less than his Senegalese compatriot.
The Ivorian midfielder, aged 28, moved to Al-Nassr after three years at RC Lens and over 100 Ligue 1 appearances. He signed a three-year contract worth £250,000 per week.
The Senegalese goalkeeper was pushed out of Chelsea after a contract dispute. He wanted to be on par with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Saudi came to his rescue with a better deal. The Champions League winner pockets £230,000 per week at Al-Ahli.

FootballSports Brief has also compared Mane's wages to Cristiano Ronaldo after the former Liverpool man joined the Portuguese superstar at Al-Nassr.
