Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane PA Images/Alamy Images

Chelsea are in talks with Bayern Munich over buying Sadio Mane this summer.

Portuguese transfer insider Pedro Almeida has tonight reported that negotiations are “progressing very positively.” Apparently an opening offer for the Senegal star has already been made by Chelsea.

He adds that the former Liverpool winger is very excited about the potential chance of moving back to the Premier League just a year after heading to the Bundesliga.

We’re not sure how we feel about this one. He’s a class player who has scored a lot of goals in the Premier League – but then again so was Raheem Sterling a year ago, and he’s looked pretty dreadful since coming to Stamford Bridge.

Then there also the… reasons that he’s going to be available this summer just a year after moving to Bayern. His bad relations with Mo Salah at Liverpool were pretty unhelpful, but what happened in Munich was next level.
