FOOTBALL ace Sadio Mane has revealed why he’s swapped supercars for schools — insisting he won’t rest until his people are fed.
The former Liverpool hero, 33, famously lives a life a world away from the “bling” lifestyle of his Premier League pals. While other superstars are busy filling their garages with Ferraris and Lamborghinis, Mane is busy filling his home village with hospitals.
The humble striker has opened up on his “people first” philosophy, admitting he has zero interest in the latest gadgets or luxury motors.
Mane said: “I don’t really pay too much attention to buying expensive cars or smart devices.
“My priority is always to make sure my people in Senegal go to their beds with food, better hospital services, and schools. I will never rest until I made a better impact in my community.”
Despite his massive earnings, Mane is often spotted with a cracked iPhone and has been seen cleaning toilets at his local mosque.
But the Senegal icon insisted he has no beef with his fellow pros who enjoy the high life.
“I am really happy and proud of other footballers who spoil themselves with luxury cars and apartments,” Mane added.
“It’s their money, and they also deserve to spend it in their own way.
“For now, I have my own ideas of how to spend mine. In the future, I might also be able to buy luxury things, but for now, I want everyone to be in better conditions back home.”
Sadio Mane’s incredible charity work isn’t just talk. The Al-Nassr star has transformed his childhood village of Bambali into a thriving town.
His remarkable “spending spree” includes:
A £455,000 hospital serving 34 villages.
A £250,000 public school.
Monthly stipends of roughly £60 to every family in the region.
A 4G internet network and a brand-new petrol station.
Mane grew up in extreme poverty and lost his father at a young age because there was no hospital in his village—a tragedy that fuels his drive to ensure no one else suffers the same fate.
