Amid the 31-year-old's recent struggles in Saudi Arabia, rumours suggest he could be of interest to Newcastle United.
The Magpies are reportedly looking to take advantage of their ownership situation, with their owners, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, also in control of the Saudi Pro League giants.
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, the English side is also eyeing moves for Al Hilal midfield duo Ruben Neves and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Newcastle are currently seventh in the Premier League after suffering a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in a league encounter on Sunday evening.
Mane has endured a tough few months in the Middle East since his arrival from Bayern Munich, having failed to score in his past nine appearances.
Rumours have suggested the Senegal international's performances have been met with strong criticism from supporters and media, one of whom called him a "nightmare" colleague for Cristiano Ronaldo.
He did, however, come up with two assists in their 4-1 win over Al Riyadh on Friday.
Newcastle did see a vote in England fall in their favour for clubs with the same ownership group being allowed to loan players to one another.
This could be the avenue the Geordies look to explore at the turn of the year, with the English side eager to climb the EPL table.
