Sadio Mane leaves Bayern Munich to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr

Sadio Mane has completed his move to Al Nassr from Bayern Munich.

The former Liverpool striker, 31, will join up with Cristiano Ronaldo at last season’s runners-up in the Saudi Pro League.

Following a £35m move from Anfield, Mane netted just seven goals in the Bundesliga as Bayern retained their title on a dramatic final day.

In what was a mixed season for the Senegal international, Mane appeared to settle in quickly in Munich, netting 11 times in all competitions by November.

However, a serious injury before the break for the 2022 World Cup saw him ruled out for three months, including missing the tournament for Senegal in Qatar.

Upon his return, he only added one goal to his tally for the campaign as he struggled to work his way back into the starting line-up following the managerial upheaval that saw Julian Nagelsmann replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Serious doubt was cast over his future at Bayern when he was dropped and fined after reportedly punching team-mate Leroy Sane in the face following a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League in April.

“We want to thank Sadio Mane for the past season," wrote Bayern chairman Jan-Christian Dreesen, confirming the player's departure.

"It certainly wasn’t an easy year for him, getting injured just before the World Cup and being unable to take part in it with Senegal, who he’d previously led to a first triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualification.

"Because of his long lay-off, he also couldn’t have the impact at FC Bayern that we all and he himself had hoped for. That’s why we came to the joint decision that he’ll begin a new chapter in his career and make a new start at a different club.

"We wish him all the best and lots of success for the challenges ahead at Al Nassr.”

Mane is the latest high-profile name to join Al Nassr following the summer additions of Marcelo Brozovic from Inter and Alex Telles from Manchester United.

They join Ronaldo, who arrived at the club in January followin the termination of his United contract.
