Having been the subject of bids from Bayer Leverkusen and Roma, and with doubts over whether he would stay on Merseyside, Mamadou Sakho has been offered a new long-term contract at Liverpool.
The Guardian report that the Frenchman, who has been left out of the 18-man squad for the Reds’ first two Premier League fixtures, could be set to commit his future to the Anfield club.
Sakho, who has two years left on his current deal, has been informed that he is part of the club’s plans going forward, and will see his wage rise from £75,000 to £100,000-a-week.
The report by Andy Hunter states that the 25-year-old will wait to see if his first-team opportunities improve before making a decision regarding the offer.
Sakho has hopes of representing his country in the European Championships in his home nation next summer, and the centre-back, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain for £18m in 2013, could go into the tournament still a Liverpool player.
