Considering Liverpool have made their stance on Mamadou Sakho clear (they want to sell him), not a lot has happened regarding the French defender.

Sidelined by Jürgen Klopp following failed substance tests and late arrival for flights during the summer, the former Paris Saint-Germain captain hasn’t made an appearance this year for the Reds, and a January exit was strongly touted.

However, Liverpool’s demands of £23m have put off more than one suitor, with many wanting loans rather than full transfers, most likely due to the fact the defender hasn’t played for a while.

Despite this, Le10 Sport in France are reporting the player has two offers in front of him, one from the Premier League, Southampton more specifically, and one from Spartak Moscow in Russia.

According to the French website, Sakho is currently trying to make up his mind between the two, even if he does have a preference for a stay in England.

Spartak’s offer is said to be more financially attractive, yet, with Southampton having sold José Fonte to West Ham after the Portuguese defender handed in a transfer request, the prospect of being a first-team player in the Premier League does have its advantages.

France manager Didier Deschamps has never hidden the fact that if the player started appearing regularly for a side, he would reconsider calling him up to one of his future squads, something Sakho will undoubtedly be desperate for.
