Reports in Germany links Sadio Mane with a surprise return to the Premier League

German news sources claim that Bayern Munich wants to sell Sadio Mane to Newcastle this summer.

Last summer, Mane departed Liverpool for Bayern Munich, but his time in Germany has not been successful.

The club is attempting to persuade the player to leave, according to Die Bayern Woche on German network Sport1 (via Inside Futbol).

They also anticipate receiving a bid for him from Newcastle United, who had a standout season and earned a spot in the Champions League.

His high wages could be a problem for the Bundesliga club as well as limit his potential suitors but Newcastle should be able to afford him given the financial resources of their Saudi based owners.

A report from BILD has linked Mane with Manchester United and Newcastle but Sadio Mane remains a fan favourite at Liverpool and it will be interesting to see if he will want to play for another Premier League club and possibly risk upsetting some fans
