AS Roma have launched an enquiry for Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho according to reports from Italy.

Sakho is a popular figure among the Liverpool faithful but that has not stopped the defender from being linked with a move away from Anfield this winter.

Roma boss Rudi Garcia was said to be very interested in securing the services of Sakho during the summer and now according to reports from Corriere dello Sport, the Italian giants have reignited their interest in the French international by asking the Reds about his availability.

It is believed that former Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Sakho, who arrived at Anfield in 2013, is pondering a potential Merseyside departure.
