Impressive Liverpool star Sadio Mane is said to have transformed his childhood village Bambali in the northern region of Senegal with a number of incredible gestures.

The 30-year-old who is closing in on a move to German side Bayern Munich returned to his country to feature in a charity match alongside the likes of Papiss Cisse and El Hadji Diouf.

SPORTbible reports that Mane has maintained constant interaction with the 2000 residents that live in that area and has made significant donations to help improve the conditions of living there.

Only recently, Mane donated £500,000 for the construction of a new hospital and he earlier coughed up £200,000 for a new secondary school to be constructed.

It was gathered that the player also released money to build post offices and then a fuel station to help the locals in the area.

Back in April, the former Southampton star donated more than £200,000 to help children have a new secondary school in Bambali in order for them to have a great future.

In a chat with Ghanaian outlet Nsemwoha, Mane disclosed what he desires in life:

"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, or two planes? What will these objects do for me and for the world?"
"I was hungry, and I had to work in the field; I survived hard times, played football barefooted, I did not have an education and many other things, but today with what I earn thanks to football, I can help my people.
"I built schools, a stadium, we provide clothes, shoes, food for people who are in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people in a very poor region of Senegal which contributes to their family economy.
"I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me."

Liverpool seal third signing of the transfer window

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Liverpool have announced the signing of Aberdeen youngster Calvin Ramsay.

Ramsey now becomes the Reds' third signing of the summer having already signed Darwin Nunez from Benfica and Fabio Carvalho who arrived on a free transfer from Fulham.

Ramsay made 39 senior appearances for Scottish giants, scoring once and bagging nine assists.
