Liverpool is eyeing up Paris Saint-Germain defender Mamadou Sakho as a potential replacement for Jamie Carragher.
Reds legend Carragher will hang up his boots at the end of the season, and manager Brendan Rodgers has identified Sakho as an ideal replacement.
Rodgers is thought to have asked Carragher to re-consider retirement, and stay for another season, but the 35-year-old is adamant this will be his last campaign as a professional footballer.
‘I’ve not had any second thoughts,’ said Carragher.
‘I want to stay in the team for the rest of the season and help the club get as many wins as possible – that’s my target. I can’t think of a better way to go out.’
That news has meant Liverpool have ramped up their pursuit for a replacement, and with interest cooling in Lazio’s Modibo Diakite, Sakho has emerged as another option.
The PSG star is keen to move on at the end of the season, having lost his place to Thiago Silva and Alex, and Liverpool could offer up to £8million to try and land him.
Arsenal and Tottenham have previously scouted Sakho.
