The father of Sadio Mane's wife, Amadou Tamba has cleared the air about the age of his daughter who recently got married to the Senegalese international.
Amadou revealed that his daughter is aged 18 and that Mane met her more than two years ago when he and his family went to visit the footballer's family. Daily mail confirmed that the father made the revelation on its official website on Thursday, January 11, 2023.
The former Liverpool player married Aisha Tamba on January 7, 2024, in Keur Massar, in the capital city of Dakar, just six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13, 2024.
He said,
"My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane's) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time. He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me. We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen.''
