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

And the Senegalese winger is ready to buy Championnat National 2 club Bourges Foot 18, according to La Journal Du Centre.

Initial talks between Mane and the Bourges Foot president Cheikh Sylla are said to have taken place two years ago, when the club was formed.

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.

The Senegalese sensation moved to Bayern Munich in 2022, but he struggled to fit in with the Bundesliga’s top team.

After reportedly striking teammate Leroy Sane in the locker room during their Champions League loss to Man City, the 31-year-old received a £436,000 punishment.

Then, Mane decided to relocate to the Gulf state in the summer to play football with legendary player Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Since then, he has scored eight goals in eighteen games for the Riyadh-based team.
