Still sitting second on Crystal Palace’s list of most expensive purchases of all time, Mamadou Sakho’s time in London has been hit and miss.
Once a key player for the Eagles, the Frenchman has been a bit of a burden this past year and a bit, as a failure to remain fit has seen his minutes reduced to almost nothing.
The centre-back has featured just three times in a starting XI picked by Roy Hodgson in the league this season, and with a contract running out in the summer, no renewal of his large wage appears to be on its way.
This means he is likely to leave on a free, where Lazio in Serie A are said to be looking at him, among many other names whose deals are running out.
Corriere dello Sport state Sakho, alongside the likes of David Luiz and Thiago Silva, is on a list of players the club are considering, but their next move on the market will depend on where they end the season.
Currently fighting for a Champions League spot, their entire outlook on the transfer market could change if they end up being able to rely on extra cash coming in from qualification for the competition.
We’ll have to wait and see, but there could be one last foreign adventure for the former Paris Saint-Germain captain, who might still have something left in him if he can remain fit.
