Southampton forward Sadio Mane wants to leave the club in order to complete a big-move to the likes of Chelsea or Manchester United.
The pacy winger was heavily linked with a mega-money move over the summer after a stand-out debut season at St Mary’s. However, despite interest being shown by both Chelsea and United, Mane stayed put.
According to reports, Mane is eyeing a big move to one of the Premier League big-boys, and he’s also eyeing a contract worth £125k-a-week.
The Senegalese footballer missed Southampton‘s 1-0 defeat to Norwich City yesterday because he was dropped by Ronald Koeman for turning up late to a club meeting.
Despite this, Koeman doesn’t really want to be losing Mane, especially mid-way through the season, however, both United and Chelsea could be put on red-alert after the latest reports.
It’s claimed Louis van Gaal‘s men are in pole position for Mane as they line up a potential £30million bid.
