Mane not leaving Al Nassr - Agent

Sadio Mane’s agent Bjorn Bezemer has insisted the forward is happy in Saudi Arabia amid links with a sensational return to Red Bull Salzburg.

Mane joined Saudi club Al-Nassr in the summer of 2023, scoring 13 times in the Saudi Pro League as his club qualified for next season’s AFC Champions League Elite. The 32-year-old is under contract until 2026, but that hasn’t stopped him being linked with an exit.

Reports in Austria suggested he might return to Red Bull Salzburg. Mane left the Austrian club in 2014, but the appointment of Pep Lijnders as manager has sparked rumours thanks to the pair’s history together at Liverpool.

“I did not have any meeting with clubs regarding Sadio,” Bezemer told Fabrizio Romano. “He is preparing the season with Al Nassr and has absolutely no intention to leave. His club is extremely happy with him.”

Mane spent two full seasons with Salzburg, moving to Premier League side Southampton shortly thereafter. He scored 45 times in 87 appearances for the Austrian club, winning the Austrian Bundesliga in 2014.
