Pochettino approves Sadio Mane’s move to Chelsea

CHELSEA’S potential new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has reportedly approved of the club’s imminent attempt to sign Bayern Munich attacker,Sadio Mane, this summer.

The 31-year-old has endured a tough season with the Bavarians after joining from Liverpool last year, with Mane starting just 17 matches in the Bundesliga so far this term.

A post-match fight with teammate, Leroy Sane, after Bayern’s loss at Manchester City in the Champions League has not helped Mane’s reputation amongst the club’s management and supporters, meaning the Senegal international could be set to depart.

According to Football Insider, Mauricio Pochettino has given his potential new employers Chelsea the green light to attempt to sign Mane this summer, with the former Tottenham Hotspur boss said to be a keen admirer of the player.
