Sadio mane revealed that before he joined Al-Nassr, Roberto Firmino  and Fabinho, two of his former Liverpool teammates, tried to get him to join them at their respective teams.

After a less-than-ideal season with Bayern Munich, Mane made the decision to move to Saudi Arabia, joining the ranks of notable players who have relocated from the major European leagues there.

After agreeing amicably to leave Bayern, the 31-year-old was given with a wide range of possibilities from different clubs willing to hire him.

The two-time African Player of the Year eventually hooked up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr despite the alluring offers, according to Sky Sports.

Sadio Mane revealed the fascinating details of how his former Liverpool teammates tried to influence his choice and block his transfer to the Riyadh-based club.

Roberto Firmino made three separate attempts to persuade Mane to join Al Ahli, according to Mane, who finished a solid second to Karim Benzema in the Ballon d’Or rankings the year before. Similar to this, Al Ittihad player Fabinho voiced a desire for a collaboration.

Nevertheless, Mane ultimately made the decision to reject these invitations and support the powerful teams based in Riyadh.
