Sadio Mane linked with shock Premier League return to join Liverpool rivals
Chelsea are reportedly considering a shock move for former Liverpool star Sadio Mane.
Following a stunning year with Liverpool, the Senegal international arrived at Bayern Munich at the start of the summer transfer window. During his time on Merseyside, Mane won both the Champions League and the Premier League.
