It is known that the Senegalese Sadio Mani grew up in a very poor village called "Sadio" located in western Senegal, a conservative and poor Muslim family who rejected the idea of professional football, but insisted on his dream and played barefoot in the streets of the village, before moving to the capital Dakar The journey of his ascent begins with the glory of football.
"I don't want to buy 10 Ferrari cars, 20 hours and a private jet," the Liverpool star said. "I had a hard time playing football barefoot. I had no education.
"Today I can help my people and my country - build schools and playgrounds and buy clothes and food for them - I would rather give my family some of what my Lord has given me."
The Reds offered Mani to extend his contract until 2025 for $ 275,000 a week, becoming the highest-paid player on the team.
