Okaz newspaper revealed that Sadio Mane was rejected for the third time from a new Saudi club, in light of Al-Nassr management’s attempts to get rid of him during the current summer Mercato.
In recent weeks, Mane’s name has been linked to Al-Qadisiyah, which was recently promoted to the Roshan League, but negotiations between the two parties did not succeed and the club withdrew from the deal.
The second club proposed as a possible destination for the Senegalese international was Al-Ittihad, but the Tigers’ management stipulated a significant reduction in the player’s salary, which made reaching an agreement between the two parties very difficult.
According to the Okaz report, Al-Nasr management offered Mane to Al-Ahli Jeddah in the past hours, and the surprise was that coach Matthias Jaissle refused to sign a contract with the 32-year-old.
The coach believes that his club does not need Mane’s services, and Al-Ahli management understood the German coach’s desire and informed Al-Nassr that it did not need to contract with the player even if his salary was reduced.
The Saudi rejection of Mane opens the door to the possibility of the player leaving the Roshen League, with the Turkish League being the closest destination for him in light of the reported interest from Fenerbahce and Besiktas in including him.
