According to L’Equipe, Bayern Munich star Sadio Mane is in talks to join Al-Nassr, just a year after leaving Liverpool.

The 31-year-old joined Bayern last summer from Liverpool for £35m. Sadio Mane signed a 3-year contract, until 2025. But the striker did not leave much impression, when he scored only 7 goals in 25 appearances in the Bundesliga.

Mane regularly struggles with injuries and was suspended by Bayern in April for punching teammate Leroy Sane after a 3-0 loss to Man City in the Champions League. Coach Thomas Tuchel also gave a harsh assessment of Mane’s time at Bayern earlier this month, saying, “Mane fell short of expectations”.

According to L’Equipe, Mane has reached an agreement in principle with Al-Nassr, but the agreement “has not been fully signed yet”. However, this is a very likely possibility, especially when the striker is facing an uncertain future at Bayern.

If he agrees to go to Al-Nassr, Mane will become teammates with Ronaldo, the Saudi Pro League runner-up last season. CR7 joined the Middle East team from Man United in December last year. Al-Nassr is constantly recruiting some big names this summer. They have signed Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan, Seko Fofana from Lens and Alex Telles from MU.

If successful, Mane will be the latest big-name player to move to the Saudi Pro League this summer, along with Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Marcelo Brozovic…

Here, the Senegalese player can also reunite with many of his Liverpool teammates who have won the Premier League and Champions League such as striker Firmino or the upcoming, midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
