Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr could be without attacker Sadio Mane next season. That's because the former Liverpool man reportedly wants to leave.
Mane, 32, had a decent first season at Mrsool Park after arriving from Bayern Munich last summer. He bagged 19 goals and 11 assists in 46 games across competitions.
Most of those goal contributions - 13 goals and eight assists in 32 games - came in the Saudi Pro League, where Luis Castro's side finished second, behind runaway unbeaten champions Al-Hilal.
Despite being contracted to Al-Alami till 2026, Mane has reportedly asked for a move away, as per NFC1 World, who tweeted (as translated from Arabic):

"Aaron Dominguez | - Sadio Mane asked to leave"
If the Senegalese does leave, it would leave a gaping hole in Al-Alami's attack, as Mane had formed a good connection up front with his captain Ronaldo.
As per Saudi World Football (via Asharq Al-Awsat), the former UEFA Champions League winner is in discussions with Al-Qadsiah, who won the Saudi Division 1 title last season to get promoted to the Pro League.
It was previously reported that Mane had agreed to play for them, but that there wasn't an agreement on his salary.
How Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane fared together at Al-Nassr
Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo - as mentioned above - had a decent first season together at Al-Nassr. Together, the duo played 41 times across competitions, registering six joint goal contributions.
Ronaldo scored four of those goals, while Mane netted the other two. All six joint goal contributions came in the league, where Luis Castro's side finished a distant second, 14 points behind Al-Hilal, finishing second for the second straight season.
Although Ronaldo had a sparkling individual season - 44 goals in 45 games across competitions - including a record 35 strikes in the Saudi Pro League - Al-Nassr endured a second straight trophyless season. They did win the Arab Club Champions Cup in pre-season, where Ronaldo netted six times in as many games.
