Liverpool star Sadio Mane spent over £450k to fund hospital in his Senegalese home town

Liverpool star Sadio Mane helped to fund the construction of a hospital in his home village of Bambali. 

It was reported that Mane met up with the country's president Macky Sall to discuss his project after he returned for their friendly matches against Zambia and Cape Verde earlier this month. 

Mane provided more than £450,000 for its construction of the project which has since been commissioned. 

'Senegalese international Sadio Mane was received this Thursday by President Macky Sall,' a statement from the presidency of the country read.

'The Liverpool social worker came to exchange with the Head of State on his social actions including the construction of a hospital in Bambali.

'He has requested assistance from the State for medical staff.

'Senegal's new stadium and the preparation of the national team with the last two friendly matches were also on the exchange menu.'
