Al Nassr look set to part ways with Sadio Mané at the end of the season. Saudi journalist Falah Al-Qahtani reports that the club has decided against renewing the Senegal winger’s contract, despite his wish to stay and his offer to take a pay cut in exchange for another season.
According to Al-Qahtani, Mané and his agent proposed cutting his current salary by around 60%, but Al Nassr showed no interest in an extension. The 34-year-old’s contract runs until 30 June 2027.
Bacary Cissé, Mané’s media adviser, confirmed a few days earlier that the player wanted to stay. “So far, no one from Al Nassr has contacted us to open talks over a new contract,” he said.
Mané joined Al Nassr from Bayern Munich in August 2023. According to BeSoccer, he has since scored 54 goals and provided 40 assists in 148 appearances across all competitions, including 40 goals and 30 assists in 100 Saudi Pro League matches.
This season, Mané has registered three goals and eight assists in 15 appearances in all competitions. Two of those assists came in Al Nassr’s 6–2 win over Uzbekistan’s Pakhtakor in the AFC Champions League Elite.
The Senegal international has won two trophies with Al Nassr. The first came just days after he signed in 2023, when the club beat Al Hilal 2–1 after extra time to lift the King Salman Club Cup. He added the Saudi Pro League title in 2025–26.
Mané scored 10 goals and provided six assists in that title-winning campaign, helping end Al Nassr’s seven-year wait for a league crown. He opened the scoring in a 4–1 win over Damac on the final day as Al Nassr finished two points clear of Al Hilal.
Mané can begin talks with other clubs in January, when his contract enters its final six months. If Al Nassr’s stance holds, he could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
