Former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is set to buy a football team with his new found wealth.

Mane, who plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia alongside Cristiano Ronaldo on mega wages, is buying a French team.

The Senegal international is ready to complete the takeover of a French fourth-tier side.

Mane will be buying Bourges Foot 18, according to La Journal Du Centre, who play in the Championnat National 2.

Mane will take over as the majority shareholder with significant influence on the club's operations.

The forward spent six years at Liverpool during his peak, scoring 120 goals in 269 games and winning every available trophy.
