Mamadou Sakho- Paris St Germain to Liverpool
Sakho played a key role in helping Paris St Germain win their first Ligue 1 title since 1994 last season. However, the Frenchman looks set to leave the Parc des Princes this summer because he is worried that he won’t get enough first team football in Laurent Blanc’s team this season. PSG recently signed Brazilian defender Marquinhos, meaning Sakho will more than likely lose his place in the Paris St Germain starting line-up. Marquinhos is one of the best young defenders in the world and it is thought that Laurent Blanc will want to give the 19 year old a long run in the PSG first team.
Reports suggest that Sakho has already asked Blanc to leave, and the French manager is ready to let the defender leave. Sakho could be on his way to the Premier League, with Liverpool showing plenty of interest in the Frenchman. Manager Brendan Rodgers has been looking to sign a new defender all summer as a replacement for Jamie Carragher, who recently retired. He has highlighted the Frenchman as a potential signing and looks set to make a move for him before the transfer window closes on September 2nd. Sakho knows he faces a battle to get into France’s team for next summer’s World Cup and will be looking to start plenty of games should he make the move to Anfield.
