are ready to sell and let Joao Cancelo return to after his loan spell this summer, according to reports in Germany.

Mane only signed for the Bundesliga giants from Liverpool last year but he has not had the season many would have expected him to have.

A serious knee injury has not helped his progress with Bayern, but it is not just underwhelming performances on the pitch that has been the problem, but trouble off it.

With manager Thomas Tuchel not making the Senegalese star a key part of his first team plans and the unrest off the field, report that Bayern are happy to sell him this summer.

While specific clubs were not mentioned, the report states that a return to the Premier League for the former Liverpool star is the most likely option for him.

The likes of Newcastle and Chelsea may well be interested in securing his services in the next transfer window, while there could be an ambitious move from the likes of Aston Villa.

Cancelo has been on loan at Bayern from Man City since making an unexpected switch just before the close of the January window.

He has made 13 Bundesliga appearances since then and four more in the Champions League for the Germans, but has not done enough to convince Bayern to exercise their option to make the move permanent.

Bayern can have the Portugal international for around £61m, but they are not willing to pay that and unless his asking price falls dramatically then they will not still have him next season.
