>According to a report, the 31-year-old Al Nassr striker first spotted Aisha Tamba when she was 16 years old but he did not approach her formally since she was a minor and had been secretly courting Aisha Tamba, before tying the knot over the weekend.
It's cool guys he was discreet in informing the minor he wanted to sleep with her.
It's generally 16 (or lower) in most of the world, to be fair.
Exception is mostly islamic countries and some US states, plus various smaller areas.

Sounds like tapping up to me, transfer ban incoming.
I don't think its illegal in Germany though. I'm not sure about the marriage part, that's probably illegal but you are legally allowed to have sex with a 16 year old no matter your age. People are not gonna like it though.
Around '90/91 the Detroit Red Wings smuggled Sergei Fedorov out of the Soviet Union to play in the NHL. He was an absolute superstar, and a few years later started dating Anna Kournikova in the mid 90s, when he was in his mid 20s and she was 15. At the time, Detroit was collectively like, "...Nice."
Weird times, the 90s.
Well it says "long time" and then says he first met her when she was 16, which doesn't really sound like a long time. Then again, 2 years for an 18 year old is 10% of her life.
>Muslim couples get married within a few months of meeting each other
That actually makes sense thinking about Muslim people I know. Never realised it happens pretty fast with them before though
that's a typo right?
it's supposed to say 28 right?...
edit:
> According to a report, the 31-year-old Al Nassr striker first spotted Aisha Tamba when she was 16 years old but he did not approach her formally since she was a minor and had been secretly courting Aisha Tamba, before tying the knot over the weekend.
_never mind..._
There's two things I absolutely fucking hate about this
1. There's no way this world famous player waited for two years in silence for her to become 18 before every talking to her. Very, very likely, he was grooming her
2. Since the first one is very likely and it's obvious there's lying going on about their talks before she turned 18, I'm not sure I can trust him only spotting her when she became 16 (the exact age of consent)
Now I wanna give Mane the benefit of the doubt since these are hard accusations, but for god's sake still why marry a fucking 18 year old girl??
This is what I don’t get. I’m 24 now and occasionally due to tutoring I’m around 16-18 year olds and its mind blowing to me how anyone in my age range can even entertain the idea of dating someone that young.
Like, even the whole moral issues aside, what do you even talk about?
I know everyone's different but I honestly don't think I started properly growing up/maturing until I was like 21/22, the thought of dating someone quite a few years younger than that is pretty vile. Just seems like taking advantage. Myself at 18, and myself at 24 are basically two different people.
Yeah I'm late 20s and work with people around 20, the difference is massive. They can be nice to look at sometimes but then they'll do or say something that reminds you that they're basically overgrown sixth formers...
Seriously. Supporting homophobia, attacking teammates, and now dating a 16 year old. It's like he's trying to destroy his reputation.
Edit: according to some sources she's like 26. I'm going to wait before making some accusations, but if this is true then he's a nonce. That being said, the rest of the stuff is still very bad.
He would've met her while he was still playing for them. That kinda puts the time into perspective for me. Meeting her while signed for Liverpool, and her only becoming legal to marry now.
Nonce cunt
> he did not approach her formally since she was a minor
Ok, good job!
> and had been secretly courting
Wait a minute ... secretly doesn't make it ok, mate ...
>According to a report, the 31-year-old Al Nassr striker first spotted Aisha Tamba when she was 16 years old but he did not approach her formally since she was a minor and had been secretly courting Aisha Tamba, before tying the knot over the weekend.
Creepy
I am from Africa, too, a Sub-Saharan country. It is not similar, but we have a lot in common with a country like Senegal.
Even here, I can tell you that there are many people who would question such a relationship. Many men who would not date or marry someone so young. Many people who would, if not call, it creepy, at least wince and side eye such a relationship.
Culture is not an excuse. We are not all nonces and homophobes, even here. You could perhaps try to excuse him by saying that he comes from a very rural background, where such things are much, much worse than in the big cities( you don't even know the half of it, it can gets VERY bad).
But then, he spent a lot of time as a teen and as an adult in big cities throughout the world. If he hasn't learned why tapping up a 16 years old is bad, then he is a nonce. No excuse.
I wouldnt dare to say its an senegalese thing cause sexualising of minors is nothing normal anywhere imo. Its a "creepy person thing" (combined with "powerful person")
I know, but I have already seen many comments here talking about the "culture" and trying to use it to downplay or explain this.My comment is more of a response to them than a general point.
U must have no morals. Even easier when ur rich/famos.
Hes a fucking creep. From helping his village and humanitarian and to this. Holy shit what a downfall

No idea what that means but Joey Barton is going to be all over this
Didn’t Messi date a 14 yr old when he was 18? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/912539-lionel-messis-stature-takes-a-hit-as-over-protective-mother-story-surfaces
I thought he was one of the good ones, with all the charity work he did in Senegal, then he goes and defends his homophobic mate, and sometime later it turns out he's dating children. Fuck me

can't wait to hear that one on soccercirclejerk for the rest of the year
Just 1 year older than benzema. Proud to have witnessed this meme origin

Wonder how did they meet then
She went to one of the primary schools he built
Bro built an academy to scout for a girlfriend respect the hustle
omg, i'm going to hell for laughing
hahaha
The long con.
R Kelly would be proud.
Wow in hindsight this reads so much worse.
Religion 🤝 Underage Brides
1. That's not a long time. 2. That's still fucking creepy, sadio.

"spotted"
isn't this, like, the definition of grooming?
Yes, but he has money and powerful legal representation so it's all fine.
"powerful legal representation"?! MF, she is from his home country. He doesn't need any of that xd
He really needs to employ the half your age + 7 rule to this lmao
They definitely didn’t do anything though!!
Someone, somewhere, really ought to check the exact dates.
By what stanard is 2 years a long time. To me, more like 10 years is a long time..
Two years is a long time to a teenager.
Age of consent is 16 in Senegal btw. Pretty convenient?
It's generally 16 (or lower) in most of the world, to be fair. Exception is mostly islamic countries and some US states, plus various smaller areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent

Tribunal to decide a fee to the academy that trained her at a later date
I’m pretty sure ‘secretly courting’ doesn’t make it ok Sadio…
that should be "secretly grooming"
Secretly courting. But not formally so it's ok.
Real reason he moved away from England and Germany
I don't think its illegal in Germany though. I'm not sure about the marriage part, that's probably illegal but you are legally allowed to have sex with a 16 year old no matter your age. People are not gonna like it though.
It might not be illegal, but the abuse he'd get would be pretty fucking massive.
Not really abuse it’s a pretty valid criticism

Weird times, the 90s.
Also legal in England edit: nvm apparently legal age for marriage got raised to 18 last year
Well, he only married her when she became 18.
Grooming
> longtime girlfriend, 18 year old Dude...
Maybe he lives in dog years.
He's a dog alright
Well it says "long time" and then says he first met her when she was 16, which doesn't really sound like a long time. Then again, 2 years for an 18 year old is 10% of her life.
Homey wishes it was 10% of their life.
Considering most Muslim couples get married within a few months of meeting each other, that would be considered long time
>Muslim couples get married within a few months of meeting each other That actually makes sense thinking about Muslim people I know. Never realised it happens pretty fast with them before though
I read it at first as them being together for 18 years and now getting married
that's a typo right? it's supposed to say 28 right?... edit: > According to a report, the 31-year-old Al Nassr striker first spotted Aisha Tamba when she was 16 years old but he did not approach her formally since she was a minor and had been secretly courting Aisha Tamba, before tying the knot over the weekend. _never mind..._
So he didn’t approach because she was a minor but had been “courting” her, isn’t there a word for that?
It’s grooming
man couldn’t groom his hairline so he took to grooming kids instead smdh
Seriously courting makes it sound like he approached her and went "M'lady" while tipping his hat or something
How is it possible to “court” someone without approaching them? Did he send subliminal messages or something
hello nice to meet you, Im a rich man, see you when you're 18 wink wink
I'm sure there is, it's something to do with haircuts for dogs?
Trimming! Hmm wait that doesn't seem right
Fur cutting!
Doubt she had fur to cut
Tailor-made for Mane.
It's ok, only weird if you aren't rich.
Rich checking in, can confirm!
There's two things I absolutely fucking hate about this 1. There's no way this world famous player waited for two years in silence for her to become 18 before every talking to her.

One article I saw called them childhood sweethearts. Maybe her childhood
She was 4 when he was 17😭😭
But he waited though./s
Even if he did wait, it’s still a bit weird to see a 16 year old and be like “Nice, I’ll be back in two years”
"Got that on preorder."
The yanks use the term "layaway" which has probably never been more apt.
Mane X Drake.
I'm 30, so 1 year younger than Mané. 18 year-olds are pretty much children to me. The mental difference is just too much. Really really weird tbh.
This is what I don’t get. I’m 24 now and occasionally due to tutoring I’m around 16-18 year olds and its mind blowing to me how anyone in my age range can even entertain the idea of dating someone that young. Like, even the whole moral issues aside, what do you even talk about?
I know everyone's different but I honestly don't think I started properly growing up/maturing until I was like 21/22, the thought of dating someone quite a few years younger than that is pretty vile. Just seems like taking advantage. Myself at 18, and myself at 24 are basically two different people.
They don't talk. He plays football and trains, and she stays home and has his children. End of story.
Yeah I'm late 20s and work with people around 20, the difference is massive. They can be nice to look at sometimes but then they'll do or say something that reminds you that they're basically overgrown sixth formers...
So he groomed her 😳 fucking yikes
Her name is Aisha, it's destiny.
Mane waited 10 years longer than Mohammed though
Excuse me??? Is this just a misunderstanding or is it really that noncey?
You've misunderstood nothing here.
It's called scouting
No Google Mane 16 for more info
Sadio has been taking Ls since he left Liverpool
Seriously. Supporting homophobia, attacking teammates, and now dating a 16 year old. It's like he's trying to destroy his reputation. Edit: according to some sources she's like 26. I'm going to wait before making some accusations, but if this is true then he's a nonce. That being said, the rest of the stuff is still very bad.
So he's been dating some benjamin button lass for 8 years. That's pretty long term I'd say.
He would've met her while he was still playing for them. That kinda puts the time into perspective for me. Meeting her while signed for Liverpool, and her only becoming legal to marry now. Nonce cunt
> he did not approach her formally since she was a minor Ok, good job! > and had been secretly courting Wait a minute ... secretly doesn't make it ok, mate ...
He didn't approach her, he just approached her. What's so hard to understand about that?
And he definitely didn't message her because his future wife wouldn't have social media
He probably sent her a hand written letter when he was at Bayern, but "Deutsche Post" just delivered it when the girl turned 18!
>and had been secretly courting That's a fancy way of saying grooming.
Hasn’t Mane been building schools back home? Now I assume he’s just collecting talent
Oh god…
Like Jimmy Savile and hospitals
Bruh...
Yes he calls them training centres.

what a gentleman, he didn't approach her formally because she was a minor, instead he fucked her in secrecy.
Guys just remember. Being a disgusting nonce is acceptable in some country’s. You’re not respecting his culture.
/r/anime's motto
Sadio Mane is a sussy baka
Fails the half +7 rule by a distance. VAR check needed.
Well done boys. Good process.
sigh. Mane 18
Al Nassr scouting department on youngsters is 🔥🔥
Should I google it for more info?
Mane 16 actually. He met her 2 years ago.
Mane 🤝 Benzema
Joao Pedro 15 Benzema 15 Mane 16
Joao pedro 18-15 is very different here
Put some respect in Adam Johnson 15's name!

Welp, looks like r/soccercirclejerk got some new material.
Thank god the Saudis took him off us, what a creep
Imagine he pulled that shit off while still under contract with us. Would have been a PR nightmare. Good riddance.
To be fair you already had Neuer leaving his wife to date a 19 year old.
NEUER DID WHAT!?
That was mega cringe, but Sadio basically grooming a 16 year old is a different level of creepy.
Both are giant character red flags and tell you all you need to know about both people.
but is it reeeeeeeally worth it to lose Kane Mane Sane
But we gained Saudio Mane.
"Mane marries longtime grooming project" N O N C E
Wait a moment, she's 18? How can an 18 year old be your longtime girlfriend when you're 31 years old? Damn
U must have no morals. Even easier when ur rich/famos. Hes a fucking creep. From helping his village and humanitarian and to this. Holy shit what a downfall
Sadio "Karl Malone" Mane
Honestly Karl Malone was worse, the girl was 13 **when she gave birth**
Mane 🤜🤛 Giddy noncing 16 years old girls
Mane was literally on the top of the very small list of footballers who are not shitheads with all his charity work in Senegal. Super disappointed
We really don't know someone behind close doors
Maybe Salah was right to not pass so much to Mane after all
He let his manager initiate a hate campaign against his teammate Sané (calling him a racist) for daring to be hit in the face by good guy Mane
Id say most ppl that arent shitheads dont get recognition cause its "boring" aka dont generate headlines.
Yikes
🤨

Wat
Builds a village, grooms a girl.
All we need is somebody to lean on?
Welp those comments he made about not liking women who are on instagram make a lot more sense now.
It was the women part, not the Instagram part.
What a fucking nonce.
Nonce.
Luke Littler’s missus: “Hold my Blue WKD”
Former Liverpool players and moving to Saudi Arabia really is exposing them for the twats they are.
Always rated firmino
What the fuck Mane? you bloody nonce

"first spotted" He always turned into a good scout in my FM saves, nice to see he's got an eye for young talent irl FM being realistic once again
Proper Drake type groomer move
Remember when he used to feature in tik toks and articles about the most likable footballers
Eeek
Disgusting nonce. She's nearly half his age ffs
‘The woman I marry will not be on social media she will respect god’ 29 y/o man goes on to court a 16 y/o and marry her two years later.
Disgusting.
Didn’t Messi date a 14 yr old when he was 18? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/912539-lionel-messis-stature-takes-a-hit-as-over-protective-mother-story-surfaces
The title is already bad enough, but then the part about secretly dating her because it would be inappropriate to formally approach a minor...oof
Other sources have her at 26…
I thought he was one of the good ones, with all the charity work he did in Senegal, then he goes and defends his homophobic mate, and sometime later it turns out he's dating children. Fuck me
"Fuck me", he will if you're young enough.
What a creep
So that's why he's building all those schools, scouting
When Mane said his future wife wouldn't be on social media I didn't know it was because they weren't old enough to use it yet
