Mane, who joined Al-Nassr in the summer of 2023, has quickly become a key player for the Saudi Pro League team, scoring 13 goals and helping his team qualify for the next season's AFC Champions League Elite.
Despite being under contract until 2026, the forward's successful stint at Al-Nassr hasn't stopped the football world from speculating about his next move.
