Saudi Arabia is reaping the fruits of its recent investment. Previously, not many Asian leagues, if not all, had failed to feature such a star cast of talent. Perhaps, only a big name or two. However, Saudi Arabia, with the help of the PIF, took that leap forward. The SPL will feel assured thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and now, Sadio Mane.

The sheer number of arrivals to the Gulf can be attributed to a plethora of reasons. Some came for the money, others for unexplored challenges. Mane, who was not meeting expectations at Bayern Munich, chose Asia for a specific reason. The fact that both he and his mother preferred the kingdom due to its Islamic roots.

Sadio Mane’s family gives an important update

Sadio Mane arrived in Riyadh in August on a $44 million annual deal. The Senegalese player agreed to a four-year contract valid through mid-2027. After a desolate period in the Bundesliga, he started firing for Al Nassr almost immediately.

A couple of months down the road, Sadio Mane’s uncle has now claimed that the Senegalese player is planning to stay in Riyadh with Al Nassr for a few more years. Mane’s uncle recently said, “God willing, Sadio Mane will stay for 5-6 seasons with Al Nassr.”
