# Liverpool looking to secure transfer for impressive defender this summer, he won’t be cheap

***The Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern have been pretty impressed with Mamadou Sakho’s form since moving to Crystal Palace…***

A talented defender in his own right, Sakho’s Liverpool tenure ended on a pretty sour note – with the defender having fallen out with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

Afte several months on the sidelines, Crystal Palace swooped him up on loan – and his tenure so far has been a very impressive one, quickly re-finding his best form.

Now it appears as though Liverpool will look to sell him this summer, with the [Telegraph reporting](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/crystal-palace-transfer-news-mamadou-sakho-liverpool-a7663236.html) that a fee of around £25 million will be demanded by the club. Crystal Palace are [reportedly](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/crystal-palace-transfer-news-mamadou-sakho-liverpool-a7663236.html) in the market for him, though the Telegraph notes that the Eagles may not be able to afford a move.

Whilst Sam Allardyce’s side may not be able to afford him, our landlord is confident that Liverpool will have no problem securing a deal for Sakho this summer. The defender has arguably been one of the success stories of the second-half of the season, offering a commanding defensive outlet for a team that is certainly on the rise.

The Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern wouldn’t mind seeing him back at Anfield, with the Reds likely to invest in a bit of defensive reinforcement this summer.
