Satou Toure, the mother of Senegal international Sadio Mane, has opened up on her son’s relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, SPL.
Mane joined Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in the summer transfer window.
The former Liverpool and Bayern Munich forward has become an instrumental part of a thriving offensive lineup since his arrival. Alongside Ronaldo and Brazilian attacker Anderson Talisca, Mane has contributed to Al-Nassr’s strong performance under the guidance of manager Luis Castro.
Mane’s statistics speak volumes about his impact at Al-Nassr, as he has scored six times in eight games while providing one assist.
Following Al-Nassr’s recent 2-1 victory against Al Ta’ee, Toure expressed her delight about the bond between her son Mane and Ronaldo, saying the pair are like brothers.
She said via 9NFCBALL:
“Sadio and Ronaldo are like brothers, and the Al-Nassr team is a close-knit family.
“I have a feeling that Al-Nassr will win the league.”
Al-Nassr is currently in fourth position in the SPL.
