SADIO MANE has completed his stunning move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia – but it will cost Liverpool millions in the process.

The forward, 31, has left Bayern Munich after just a year in Germany.
Sadio Mane has completed his stunning move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia
But according to the Daily Mail, the German champions only paid Liverpool an upfront fee of £27.5m.
If Mane fulfilled the conditions of specific performance-based add-ons, the remaining £7.5 million would be paid.

Expectations won’t be met when the Senegalese international moves to Saudi Arabia to join Cristiano Ronaldo, where he is projected to make over £650,000 per week.
He will continue to earn less than top Gulf players like Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Jordan Henderson, a former Liverpool teammate.
Mane played for Anfield for six years, scoring 120 goals in 269 games, before agreeing to a £35 million transfer to join Bayern last summer.
But he was not as prolific in Germany and only managed seven Bundesliga goals last season.
Harry Kane of Tottenham is a major target for manager Thomas Tuchel as he looks to strengthen his team’s offensive capabilities.
It was considered a good way to pay for Kane’s transfer and rendered Mane superfluous.
Bayern Munich’s club-record £82 million offer for England’s captain coincides with his departure.
The offer comes as a result of talks this week between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and the German powerhouses.
