One of the biggest stories of the summer transfer window looks set to play out in Liverpool after Sadio Mane announced he wants to leave the club ahead of the 2022-23 campaign. But it is a move that could have a big impact on Chelsea.
No, Mane does not look like he is about to swap the red of Liverpool for Chelsea blue. Bayern Munich are the front-runners for his signature and, despite having an initial bid of £21 million rejected this weekend, look likely to continue their pursuit over the coming months.
Thomas Tuchel is eager to bolster his attacking unit, but they will likely look at players who will hold more of a resale value going forward as new owner Todd Boehly looks to tweak how the club is run from the free-spending Roman Abramovich era.
