Saturday, June 25, 2022 –Did you know that Sadio Mane is currently the highest paid footballer from African continent? If you didn’t then you must know it now.
Though painful for his fans, the hitman just completed his move to another top tier English Premier League club, Fc Bayern Munich, last Wednesday.
Asked what he feels like after leaving his long time club Liverpool, the Senegalese superstar confirmed he will always be a Liverpool number one fan.
“Yeah, of course! After every game! After every one of my games in Munich I will come to the dressing room and I will watch Liverpool, for sure, because I am going to be Liverpool’s No.1 fan forever,” he assured as seen on Liverpool’s official website.
So how much is he worth or how much is he going to start earning at his new home? Mane from the Mirror report will be pocketing a whopping Sterling pounds 250,000 every week an equivalent of sh 35,000,000 per week.
What this means is that he has tripled what he was being paid at Liverpool. Since Spotrac detailed that he used to pocket Sterling pounds 100,000 per week an equivalent of sh 14,000,000 every week.
This sudden turn of fortune makes Mane the highest paid African footballer in the whole world followed by the Egyptian Mohamed Salah who earns Sterling Pounds 220,000 (sh 30,800,000) every week at his current club, Liverpool.
One notable thing about Mane is his characteristic philanthropic lifestyle. Back at home in Senegal, Mane has been spending almost all his earnings helping and uplifting his country by paying school fees for the poor, building hospitals, schools and stadia in villages and slums. He is so philanthropic until people there sometimes wonder if he cares about himself.
