Liverpool defender Sakho wants Lazio move

Mamadou Sakho has reportedly advised his agent to land him a transfer away from Liverpool.

Reports in Italy suggest that the Reds centre-back is a strong target for Lazio and would be open to a shift to Rome this summer.

France international Sakho, 25, joined Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 but is already to move on and is believed to be prepared to cut his wages in order to secure a shift to Lazio.

Lalaziosiamonoi.it reports that Sakho wants his representatives to find a solution so he can depart Anfield and play regularly ahead of the 2016 European Championships which take place in his home country next summer.

Sakho has made just 34 Premier League appearances since arriving on Merseyside and feels clogged at Liverpool as manager Brendan Rodgers prefers Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren in central defence.
