Chelsea are through to the FA Cup final for the third consecutive season.

They booked their place with a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace thanks to second-half goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mason Mount.

The Blues are now the first team since Arsenal in the early 2000’s to make three FA Cup finals in a row.

They will next face Liverpool, in what will be a rematch of the EFL Cup final earlier this year.

However, any deal will depend on how much money Mane is asking for, with the club reluctant to offer a massive deal to a player who’s already 30 years old.
