Liverpool are not targeting 23-year-old Paris St-Germain centre-back Mamadou Sakho, despite the France international being “flattered” by their apparent interest.
What’s the story? Sakho is coming in to the last year of his contract at PSG. At one point he was very highly rated but some bad mistakes mean his star has waned.
Does it make sense? Hmm. Sakho is really similar to Daniel Agger so it’s not a complimentary fit. They could do with an enforcer more. A good Skrtel would do the trick.
Is the price right? Probably down from the £30m of a few years ago to more like £5-6m now.
Will it happen? 4/10 – I guess he has some characteristics that Rodgers likes, but he’s really not different enough to justify the signing.
