During his time at Sporting Lisbon, Carlos Mane also went on loan to two German clubs, namely; VFB Stuttgart and Union Berlin.
The 30-year-old exited the Lisbon-based club to join Rio Ave on July 21, 2019, for a fee of €1 million.

Mane at international level
Moreover, Mane represented Portugal at youth level, featuring for the Under; 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, and 23 sides.
However, he wasn’t handed a call-up to the national team for years, possibly due to the rife competition in the national team, especially in his left-wing position.
Carlos Mane was called up to the national team of Guinea-Bissau on September 6, 2023, for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches.
Mane made his debut five days later, in a 2-1 win over Sierra Leone where he provided the assist to the equaliser scored by co-debutant Nito Gomes.
Carlos Mane has made 3 appearances cumulatively for Guinea-Bissau, scoring no goal, and providing 1 assist.
The attacker has made 23 appearances for Kayserispor this campaign, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists in all competitions.
Thus far in his career, Mane has made 305 club appearances, scoring 36 goals and providing 49 assists across all competitions.
Carlos Mane has had a relatively successful career, winning several trophies, including; 2 Taça de Portugal, 1 Taça da Liga, and 1 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira all with Sporting Lisbon.
Mane last played for Kayserispor in their 2-1 home loss to Trabzonspor on April 20, 2024.
The former Union Berlin man came on in the 77th minute, replacing Gokhan Sazdagi.
Anyway, Kayserispor sit 14th on the Turkish Super Lig table with 37 points from 33 league matches.
