Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr has informed Senegalese forward Sadio Mane that he can leave the club this summer, as the team looks to reshape its squad despite Cristiano Ronaldo potentially extending his stay.
According to reports, the Saudi giants are targeting Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho as Mane's potential replacement in their continued pursuit of silverware.
Trophy Drought Despite Star-Studded Squad
Despite assembling an impressive roster featuring global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, and Jhon Duran, Al Nassr has surprisingly failed to secure any trophies. This drought has prompted the club's management to reconsider their squad composition ahead of the new season.
The club had initially anticipated Ronaldo's departure this summer, but recent developments suggest the five-time Ballon d'Or winner may remain with Al Nassr for at least another season. This change in circumstances appears to have influenced the decision regarding Mane's future.
Transfer Targets and Strategy Shift
Al Nassr had previously shown interest in Liverpool's Colombian winger Luis Diaz. However, after Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot expressed his intention to retain Diaz, the Saudi club has reportedly shifted its focus to Manchester United's promising young talent Alejandro Garnacho.
This potential move for Garnacho signals Al Nassr's determination to inject fresh talent into their squad as they aim to end their trophy drought in the upcoming season.
Mane, who joined Al Nassr from Bayern Munich, has had a mixed spell in Saudi Arabia and now appears set for another move in his illustrious career that has included successful stints at Liverpool and Southampton.
