Mamadou Sakho to Crystal Palace: Liverpool say permanent deal only option... for £30m

Mamadou Sakho, who fell out with Jurgen Klopp last summer after a misdemeanour during their pre-season tour, shone during his loan spell at Palace.

However, his campaign was cut short after succumbing to a serious knee injury.

The Reds are looking to recoup as much as possible for the Frenchman.

And now according to the Daily Mirror, the Eagles will have to pay £30million should they wish to sign Sakho.

Liverpool will only entertain the option of a permanent move, despite Palace mulling over another loan deal.

Also, it is suggested Sakho is keen on the opportunity to work under new Palace boss Frank De Boer.

However, it is claimed the Dutchman shares the belief that £30m would be too much to pay for the defender.

Although Sakho was exiled by the Anfield outfit, Klopp hinted earlier this month the player could still stay at Anfield.

He said: “First of all he needs to get 100% fit and then we will see.”

Liverpool concluded their pre-season tour of Hong Kong as they won the Premier League Asia Trophy, beating Leicester in the final.
