The ex-Liverpool star continues to make contributions to the community of Senegal. The locals have great respect for the Al Nassr star. He is also an inspiration to millions of youngsters to dream big. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen also sees Mane as an inspiration for the work he is doing. He said, “I am inspired by Sadio Mane. But I have a different goal compared to his”.

“He is building infrastructure for the community of Senegal. That is awesome”. He continued, “But for me, I want to help disabled challenged people across Africa. I will always do my best to help where I can help. I am in the process of opening headquarters in Africa, which will help to achieve this goal. If you don’t have a leg, we will create a new one for you”.

“If it’s an arm, we will create a new one for you. We want them to feel equal to everyone. We work for Africa”. Such lines showcase how a superstar in whichever field of work shouldn’t forget their roots after making it big.

Sadio Mane and Victor Osimhen are inspiring many soccer star players, especially from Africa, to work for their community. Mainly because they have also learned the hard way during their journey to becoming top soccer players.

Sadio Mane is giving back to the society that raised him

The Al Nassr star has made some huge donations in the form of different things for the people of Senegal. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, he donated $45,000 to the Government of Senegal in the tough situations during the pandemic. When he suffered a concussion in Cameron during the AFCON tournament, he came to know of a child recovering from life-threatening injuries. The Al Nassr star immediately made sure to cover the whole bill of approximately CFA 400,000 that the family of the child could not have afforded.
