Sadio Mané’s agent responds to notable return rumours following Liverpool reunion links

“I have not had any meetings with clubs about Sadio,” Bezemer told Fabrizio Romano. “He is preparing for the season with Al Nassr and has absolutely no intention of leaving. His club is extremely happy with him.”

Mane spent two full seasons with Salzburg, moving to Premier League side Southampton shortly after. He scored 45 times in 87 appearances for the Austrian club, winning the Austrian Bundesliga in 2014.

“I love the city and the club – then and now,” Mane said in 2019, ahead of Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League clash with Salzburg. He won the competition with the Reds in 2019, also playing in the finals in 2018 and 2022, and scored in a 4-3 win over his former employers at Anfield.

Will Sadio Mane be an Al-Nassr player this season? Let us know in the comments section.

Current Salzburg boss Lijnders worked closely with Liverpool’s first team during two seasons at Anfield. He was linked with the managerial role after Jurgen Klopp’s departure was confirmed but opted to move to Austria instead.

“I always said I would finish with Jürgen; the moment I was no longer of any help to anyone, that would be the moment I would go and manage. That was always the case,” Lijnders said in May as he said goodbye to Liverpool.

“So when we talked, it was clear to me: OK, then I’ll go and manage, and we’ll finish this project together (that) we started. But yes, it’s not easy.

“My boys, my wife; my boys are two real Scousers and will be for life. Posh maybe! But still! I can’t thank everyone involved enough. I’m grateful. Mike (Gordon) and I had a good chat afterwards, I’m very grateful for that and it makes me (feel) also that I can leave the club consciously.”
