Al-Nassr have scheduled a medical for Senegalese forward Sadio Mane today, this comes after the deal to take the forward to the Saudi Pro League from Bayern Munich was agreed in principle over the weekend.
According to Sky Sports, the former Liverpool winger will have a medical at the club today with the report claiming that Mane will earn £34 million a season tax-free, once he completes the move to Saudi Arabia.
The fee is reportedly £24 million, which represents an £11 million loss for Bayern Munich who shelled out £35 million to sign the winger just last summer from Liverpool.
The winger scored seven times and assisted five more in the Bundesliga last season, but he looks set to depart from the club and move to Al-Nassr.
The winger will link up with iconic striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will hope that Mane can be the difference in helping the Saudi side win the title.
£137 million deal
The winger, according to Sky Sports, will sign a contract until 2027 and will seemingly play out the final few years of his career in the Middle East. Incredibly, the winger would stand to earn £137 million if he sees out the four years of his contract.
After a punch-up with Bayern winger Leroy Sane, Mane was dropped from the team and seemingly no longer part of the squad. He was left out of a friendly with Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale despite travelling with the squad.
“Sadio Mane is in contract talks ahead of a possible transfer and so is not in today’s squad,” said Bayern.
His time in Europe is seemingly over and despite a less-than-successful spell in Germany, his time in England with Liverpool and Southampton will be remembered.
His former manager, Jurgen Klopp, called Mane a ‘modern-day Liverpool icon’ on the club’s website and it’s hard to disagree with the German coach.
