Footie ace Mamadou Sakho moves into Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers’ marital home in what looks like the weirdest transfer of the season.

But it’s not the start of a bedroom farce for the French international – he’s just taken over the lease after the Reds manager and his wife moved out.

Sakho, 24, was seen in his flash Audi R8 returning from training to the £1.6million gated detached house in Merseyside.

Rodgers, 41, has moved to a £1.2million flat in Liverpool after splitting from wife Susan, mum to his two adult children.

It is believed both Rodgers and Sakho’s rental agreements for the privately owned property were arranged by Liverpool FC.

Rodgers moved out in February and has since spent time with divorced Charlotte Hind, 31, who used to work at the club as a travel co-ordinator.

In April the Sunday Mirror revealed he was at her home in Southport when a young man battered the front door with a cricket bat, shouting for Rodgers to go outside.

In May, Rodgers and Charlotte were photographed on holiday together in Spain with her young daughter.

And in June the two were spotted at New York’s Museum of National History.

The pair have been pictured holding hands but Rodgers has denied having a relationship with her.

Two weeks ago Charlotte’s ex-husband Steven, 31, was given a restraining order for pestering her with texts over Rodgers.

Since taking over at Liverpool two years ago Rodgers has had an image makeover, losing weight with exercise at the club’s Melwood training ground and spending thousands having his teeth whitened.
