Bayern Munich are said to be hoping that Chelsea will move in for Sadio Mane with the winger likely to leave the Bundesliga giants this summer.
Mane has endured a disappointing debut campaign in Germany following his move from Liverpool last summer and the forward’s recently fell out with team-mate Leroy Sane which led to the former’s suspension by the club for one match.
According to a report from Bundesliga transfer expert Christian guru ( via The Daily Express), Bayern are convinced that Chelsea, who are looking to bolster their frontline in the transfer window, will make an approach for Mane’s services.
An offer from the Blues for signing Mane would only drive up the fee Bayern are keen to pocket from the ex-Liverpool attacker’s sale and Chelsea have not been shy from spending big on new recruits since the ownership changed hands at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have spent in excess of £600 million across the last two windows since Boehly bought the club and further spending could be in store ahead of this summer with Chelsea eager to overhaul the squad.
