OFFICIAL: Sadio Mane joins Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr

Senegalese forward Sadio Mane has officially joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr to team up with Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo.

The former Liverpool winger joins from Bayern Munich, ending a tumultuous one-year spell with the Bavarians.

Mane’s signing was announced by Al-Nassr in a video tribute on Twitter to celebrate the 31-year-old’s arrival at the club.

Bayern Munich will receive a €28 million fee for Mane, a loss of around €4 million from what they spent to take him from Liverpool just last season.

The Senegalese sensation failed to live up to the billing after his move to Bayern Munich from Merseyside, and his spell at the club will most famously be remembered for his spat with teammate Leroy Sane that left the German with a swollen lip and Mane with a two-week suspension and fine.

The two-time African footballer of the year will be looking to put the disastrous spell behind him as he joins up with Ronaldo at Al-Nassr as they wrestle the Saudi Pro League title from the grasp of rivals Al-Ittihad.

It is believed that Mane will earn as much as €40 million per season at Al-Nassr in a deal that should see him at the club until 2027, bringing his total earnings over that time period to €160 million.
