Senegal star Sadio Mane was often on the end of a big fine during his time playing for Liverpool.
Mane ended his trophy-laden six-year spell at Anfield in the summer of 2022 after completing a transfer to German Bundesliga side Bayern Munich before moving to Saudi Arabia to play for Al Nassr.
During his time on Merseyside, Mane made 269 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 120 goals. The forward developed into one of the best players in the world and got his hands on the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
However, it has now been revealed by his former teammate Andy Robertson that Mane was fined multiple times for forgetting his passport for away trips.
The Scottish full-back told the We Are Liverpool podcast: “Some of the fines are expensive.

“If you forget your passport for an away trip, you're getting a lot of your wage taken off you.
“It's happened a few times, Sadio [Mane] was a big culprit for that and obviously it delays the plane and delays when we get there. We had to put a big fine in.”
Robertson also revealed that club captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain James Milner are the ones in charge of the fine system.
He added: “Hendo and Millie make a lot of decisions. For instance like fines, Millie is the fine police, he is in charge. Since I have been here he has been fined once and the place erupted!”

Since Mane departed Liverpool, he had a spell at Bayern Munich which didn't work out how he would have hoped, making only 25 appearances at the club. He was suspended and fined by the club following an altercation with team-mate Leroy Sane after the sides 3-0 Champions League loss to Manchester City.
Mane went on to win the Bundesliga before leaving the club to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr in August 2022.
