After the Manchester United agreement, Sadio Mane issued a three-word judgment of the Premier League’s return.

Sadio Mane once taunted the Toon Army with a cheeky “never say never” about donning the Newcastle shirt, delivering a three-word verdict on the Premier League return after Man Utd’s agreement.

 

 

 

The Liverpool legend, who is currently playing for Al-Nassr, has also previously disclosed that he was on the brink of signing with Manchester United before ultimately opting to proceed to Anfield. Mane, 33, solidified his status as an Anfield legend following his £34 million transfer from Southampton in 2016,

 

 

 

 

during which he scored 120 goals and assisted 46 others during a remarkable six-year period. Mane’s time in Germany was marred by injury complications prior to the World Cup in Qatar and rumors of an altercation with his comrade, Leroy Sane. Consequently, the Mirror reports that few were taken aback when he was terminated at the conclusion of the season.

 

 

 

 

At an EITI International conference in Senegal, Mane’s homeland, he encountered Martin Callanan, a Conservative life peer in the House of Lords who is originally from Newcastle, during those tumultuous times. He subsequently tweeted about his conversation with Mane, encouraging him to contemplate a move to the Toon:

 

 

 

 

“I am currently in Senegal, speaking at the EITI conference.” It is a privilege to have encountered ⁦Sadio Mane at the hotel. I was unable to resist inquiring about his potential relocation to Newcastle for the upcoming season.

 

 

 

 

‘Never say never!’ was his enigmatic response.It is unclear whether Mane was merely being courteous or if the Magpies were genuinely interested in his services; however, he did not ultimately don the black and white stripes. Rather, he opted to join Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr, where he has scored an impressive 62 goals in 93 appearances.

 

 

 

 

Mane’s record indicates that he is not solely in the region for financial gain, despite the fact that numerous players who have made comparable transfers to the Middle East have been accused of pursuing the money. And his cryptic response to Callahan suggests that a return to the Premier League may not be wholly implausible, in contrast to the majority of players who spend their twilight years playing in Saudi Arabia.
