Liverpool Turned Down Offer For Powerhouse, Wants £20M Instead

New reports had it that Liverpool have turned down a loan approach by Southampton FC for their defender Mahamadou Sakho. Since last year’s April, the defender has not featured for the Reds before issues arose.

As it stands, Liverpool are continuing to seek for a permanent solution to Sakho’s status. It was reported that they wantend  £20m for the Frenchman to end the chapter of what some described as a dubious history.

And if we should look at the issue more keenly, we can say the strategy makes a lot of sense from Liverpool’s perspective. ‘What if Sakho got badly injured or something of that sort?’.

If that is the case, his worth and fee would be much lower. In fact, they might have no other choice but to give him away for free like they did Balotelli this past summer. Despite anything Sakho may be trying to leverage on, the Reds are every bit within their rights.

If skipper Jose Fonte, having being heavily linked with a move away from ST Mary leaves the club, then we may be able to see Sakho permanently move to the South Coast. That of course may be the quickest and best way to get this saga over with, once and for all.
