Al Nassr: Saudi club says no to Sadio Mané's request

Sadio Mané's future at Al-Nassr is now the subject of speculation.

According to Saudi sports journalist Falah Al-Qahtani, Al Nassr is not considering extending Senegal international Sadio Mané's contract. His deal expires at the end of the season. So far, the club's management has not officially confirmed the information.

Will Mané leave Al Nassr?

The question is now on everyone's mind. In a post on social media platform X, Saudi journalist Falah Al-Qahtani claims the club's directors do not wish to renew Sadio Mané's contract at the end of the season. The living legend of Senegal and his entourage have reportedly taken steps to secure an additional year on his contract from the club's management.

The journalist even mentions the possibility of the Senegal international making significant financial concessions.

🚨 @falahsport Following the conclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo's contract and his expected retirement in an Al Nassr shirt, alongside the expiry of Sadio Mané's deal at the end of the season, Al Nassr will have the lowest wage bill among the four PIF clubs. Al Nassr have decided against renewing Mané's contract despite attempts from the player and his agent to secure an additional season, which included offering a salary reduction of roughly 60% compared to his previous wages.

Al Nassr must work within certain parameters

The question of Sadio Mané's contractual future comes as several Saudi clubs consider changes to their squads and financial commitments. Decisions concerning experienced players can depend on many factors, including sporting objectives, budgetary priorities and the choices made by technical directors.

For now, it would be premature to present Sadio Mané's departure as a certainty. No public statement from the player confirms that a split is imminent.
