Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr have reportedly informed Senegalese forward Sadio Mane that he is free to leave the club this summer, according to Goal.
The decision comes as part of the club’s strategy to rejuvenate its squad following a disappointing trophyless campaign despite high-profile signings.
Since his arrival from Bayern Munich, Mane joined a star-studded team that includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo Brozovic, and Jhon Duran. However, the anticipated success has failed to materialize, prompting a shift in recruitment focus.
Al-Nassr had earlier prepared for the potential exit of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer. But with recent indications suggesting the Portuguese star may remain for at least another season, the club is recalibrating its plans.
Initially interested in Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, Al-Nassr have reportedly redirected their attention to Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho after new Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed his intention to retain the Colombian.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Al-Nassr are expected to make bold moves to end their silverware drought and build a more competitive squad around Ronaldo for the upcoming season.
