Mane in talks to invest in French club Bourges

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane has taken a step to develop French fourth-tier club Bourges Foot.

The Senegalese's investment move was confirmed by the Mayor of Bourges, Yann Galut, who disclosed the seriousness of the potential deal.

"The relations and exchanges that we have with Sadio Mane are serious,” Galut said, per the Sun.

"The contacts with the town hall are really there. Will they succeed or not? Given the international context, given the crisis, I don't know.

"What I can say is that if it had not been for the Covid, we would have already welcomed Sadio Mane to Bourges to speak.

“In the exchanges I had with Sadio Mane, I really liked his philosophy, the fact that if he came to Bourges, and I still insist on the conditional, it would be in an approach that would not be a business approach.”
