“I am looking forward to my new life and I know that it will be very different. But I do not feel any pressure because Sadio’s fame and money will not change me. This is not what I’m interested in. I will remain a humble person committed to my faith,” she told the Daily Mail, as quoted by GOAL.
“I’m not used to having so much attention on me because we are a very private family. We don’t like to show off and speak about our personal lives. I am a very down-to-earth person, this is how I was raised, and nothing will be different just because of this marriage. But I’m very honoured to now be Mrs Mane,” she added.
Mrs Mane could move to Saudi Arabia with her husband at the end of her education in Senegal and could meet his teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez.
