Later that summer, Sadio Mané transferred to English club Southampton for a club record fee of £11.8 million. There, he set a new Premier League record for the fastest hat-trick, scored in 176 seconds in a 6–1 win over Aston Villa in 2015.

Sadio Mané signed for fellow Premier League side Liverpool in 2016, for a reported fee of £34 million and since joining, he has helped the side reach back-to-back UEFA Champions League Finals in 2018 and 2019, winning the latter.
