Highly rated defender Mamadou Sakho admits that he is wanted by both AC Milan and Liverpool. The young centre back has found his first team playing opportunities limited since the arrival of Thiago Silva.

Liverpool are still actively looking for replacements for Jamie Carragher, despite the arrival of Kolo Toure. There also remains some question marks over the future of Martin Skrtel.


Brendan Rodgers has reportedly already contacted PSG regarding Sakho's availability.


"I'll be able to talk with the new coach and see what he thinks," Sakho said. "I am flattered by the interest of historic clubs like Liverpool and AC Milan. We will see what happens in the near future.


"I have to make a decision. PSG is my club, I was born here and I learned my football here... I want to play for this club all my life, but it is clear that I do not want to sit on the bench.


"I have not played as much as I would have liked last sesaon because of the choices of the coach. Every player wants to play every week, too. There is an offer on the table."
