But Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proenca, who was appointed last year, is an admirer of Mane and keen to convince him to play for Portugal.<\/p>\n
England Under-21 manager Lee Carsley is also taking a firm interest.<\/p>\n
Mane, who moved to England aged eight, may initially be called for Portugal U21s but could also train with the seniors, with Martinez keen to fast-track him into his squad after the World Cup.<\/p>\n
No decision on Mane’s international future has been made, sources have told BBC Sport, with Mane keen to focus on his club form.<\/p>\n
He joined Wolves<\/a> from Rochdale in February 2024 and made his debut under Vitor Pereira in a 2-0 defeat by Brighton<\/a> in May.<\/p>\n This season Mane has been one of the few bright spots in Wolves<\/a>‘ wretched campaign after making a first-team breakthrough under Rob Edwards.<\/p>\n Mane has scored twice in 20 games – he became the club’s youngest Premier League goalscorer – but Wolves<\/a> are bottom of the Premier League and expected to be relegated.<\/p>\n Since making his full debut at Liverpool<\/a> in December, Mane has started Wolves<\/a>‘ past 11 league games.<\/p>\n They are 17 points adrift of safety with 10 games left, having won only once, and host Aston Villa<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n
