Sadio Man\u00e9 (born 10 April 1992) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a forward or left winger for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and the Senegal national team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest African players of all time.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]\n

Man\u00e9 began his professional career with Ligue 2 club Metz at the age of 19, but he departed after a solitary season to join Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg in 2012 for a fee of \u20ac4 million, winning a league and cup domestic double in the 2013\u201314 season. Later that summer, Man\u00e9 transferred to English club Southampton for a club record fee of \u00a311.8 million. There, he set a new Premier League record for the fastest hat-trick, scored in 176 seconds in a 6\u20131 win over Aston Villa in 2015.\n

Man\u00e9 signed for fellow Premier League club Liverpool in 2016, for a reported fee of \u00a334 million, making him the most expensive African player in history at that time.^[4]^[7] Having formed a formidable attacking trio with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino after the departure of prolific midfielder Philippe Coutinho, he helped the side reach back-to-back UEFA Champions League finals in 2018 and 2019, winning the latter. He also finished as the league's joint-top goalscorer in the 2018\u201319 season, winning the Premier League Golden Boot. Man\u00e9 then helped end Liverpool's 30-year league title drought by winning the 2019\u201320 Premier League. In October 2021, he scored his 100th Premier League goal, becoming the third African to reach the landmark. Man\u00e9 finished fourth and second in the 2019 and 2022 editions of the Ballon d'Or, respectively; and in The Best FIFA Men's Player he ranked fifth in 2019 and fourth in 2020.\n

At international level, Man\u00e9 has registered 46 goals in 113 appearances for Senegal since his debut in 2012, and currently ranks as his nation's all-time top goalscorer, and second in all-time appearances. He represented Senegal at the 2012 Olympics, as well as the 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023 editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. In the 2019 tournament, Man\u00e9 helped Senegal to a runners-up finish, and a year later, was named African Footballer of the Year. In the 2021 final, Man\u00e9 scored the winning kick in the penalty shoot-out to give Senegal their first Africa Cup of Nations title and he was also named the Player of the tournament. In 2022, he was crowned African Player of the Year for the second time. Man\u00e9 also represented his nation at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, in its second-ever appearance in the competition.\n
