Sadio Mane marries long term girlfriend in Senegal
Sadio Mane has married his ’18-year-old long term girlfriend’ Aisha Tamba in a private ceremony in his home country of Senegal.
The wedding took place on January 7 in Keur Massar, an area in the capital city of Dakar, just six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13, according to Business Day.
Reports from Pulse Sports claim that Aisha ‘was long intended for the 31-year-old footballer since her teenage years’ with the outlet also stating that the ex-Liverpool star ‘had taken care of her bills when she was in school’. The legal age of consent in Senegal is 16 years of age.
Another video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by @abdullahayofel showed the two smiling and laughing as they sat together on a sofa after their wedding.
It was captioned: ‘A very simple and humble man, congratulations Sadio Mane. May Allah bless your union.
Mane joined Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in August last year, completing a £34million move from Bayern Munich after a difficult spell with the Bundesliga champions. His deal with the Pro League side sees him earn £650,000-a-week.
He had moved to Bayern for £35m the year prior, but had struggled to settle in at the Bavarian club, while also reportedly falling out with team-mate Leroy Sane.
Since joining the Saudi Arabian outfit, Mane has scored 12 times in 26 appearances for the club and reportedly returned to Senegal at the start of January to prepare for AFCON.
