Sadio Mane poised for potential move to La Liga as Girona eyes transfer
This could be Sadio Mane’s last season as Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate at Al Nassr, as Spanish outfit Girona looks to bring him to La Liga next season.
The Saudi Pro League could see a significant shift with the departure of former African Footballer of the Year, Sadio Mane.
According to multiple sources, Mane has emerged as a transfer target for Champions League-bound La Liga outfit Girona this summer.
Sadio Mane joined Al Nassr last summer following a contentious exit from German champions Bayern Munich. However, just a year into his initial three-year contract, the 32-year-old is reportedly eyeing a return to Europe.
Mane has been a crucial player for Al Nassr, contributing to 30 goals this season. His performance includes 19 goals and 11 assists in 44 matches, showcasing his enduring talent and consistency.

According to a report by Sportskeeda, Girona, a surprise package in the recently concluded La Liga season, could offer Mane a pathway back to Europe as they prepare for their Champions League debut. Girona finished third in La Liga with 81 points, securing a spot in UEFA’s elite club competition. They see Mane, who has previously won the Champions League with Liverpool, as an ideal addition to fortify their squad.
This latest development follows earlier reports of Galatasaray’s interest in Mane. The Turkish giants clinched the Super Lig title on the final day of the season, ensuring their participation in the Champions League next season.
With options emerging for Mane to return to Europe, his tenure at Al Nassr and his partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo could be nearing its end. The allure of Champions League football and a fresh challenge in Europe presents a compelling opportunity for the Senegalese star.
