Al-Nassr rejects Mane's salary cut, contract won't renew
15 Nov
Summary
- Al-Nassr will release Sadio Mane despite strong performances.
- Mane's agent offered a 60% salary cut, but Al-Nassr refused.
- Al-Nassr aims to extend Joao Felix's contract until 2029.
Al-Nassr will not renew Sadio Mane's contract, opting to release the Senegalese star despite his valuable performances. Mane's contract concludes at the end of the current season, making him a free agent. His agent made significant concessions, including a proposed 60% salary cut for an additional year, but Al-Nassr rejected this offer.
Mane joined the Saudi club in the summer of 2023 from Bayern Munich. He played a key role in Al-Nassr winning the Saudi Roshn League last season and the King Salman Cup. He is expected to depart alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and potentially Joao Felix.
Cristiano Ronaldo's contract also expires soon, with speculation about his retirement after potentially reaching 1000 career goals. Joao Felix's situation is different; Al-Nassr intends to activate a clause to extend his contract until 2029, despite Chelsea's demands and high salary expectations.
The club management is reportedly working to resolve financial issues before confirming the necessary guarantees to extend Felix's deal. This move aims to secure the player and prevent a potential free transfer to Barcelona, as facilitated by agent Jorge Mendes.
