But, with retirement looming on the 31-year-old, Mane is ready to put his £650,000 weekly wage to good use.

Additionally, according to La Journal Du Centre, the Senegalese winger is prepared to purchase Bourges Foot 18, a Championnat National 2 club.

Mane and Cheikh Sylla, the president of Bourges Foot, are rumored to have had their first conversations two years ago, when the club was founded.

Sadio Mane is the new owner of French National 2 (fourth-tier) side, Bourges Foot 18 

Now the report says the 120-goal Liverpool hero is ready to become a major stakeholder at the Bourges-based club.

The announcement of Mane’s takeover of the club is scheduled to take place on October 25th at Bourges town hall.

They have endured a tough start to the term and currently sit 13th in Group B of the Championnat National 2.

But things could soon look up under Mane’s ownership.

Mane spent six years at the Reds after arriving from Southampton in 2016 and scored 120 goals in 269 appearances under Jurgen Klopp.

With Liverpool, he took home six major titles, including the Premier League and Champions League.

In 2022, the sensational Senegalese player transferred to Bayern Munich, but he found it difficult to blend in with the best squad in the Bundesliga.

The 31-year-old was fined £436,000 for allegedly hitting teammate Leroy Sane in the locker room after their Champions League loss to Man City.

Mane then made the decision to move to the Gulf state in the summer to play football at Al-Nassr with the renowned player Ronaldo.

For the Riyadh-based team since then, he has eight goals in eighteen games.
