Mamadou Sakho agrees deal with Palace

Mamadou Sakho has reportedly agreed personal terms with Crystal Palace, all that is left to do now is for the two clubs to agree a fee for the defender, according to reliable Goal journalist Melissa Reddy.

Sakho, 27, joined Palace in January on loan until the end of the season and made a huge impression with everyone at the club, helping steer the Eagles to safety.

New boss Frank de Boer is said to be keen on bringing Sakho back to Selhurst Park for the upcoming campaign.

The only obstacle left to overcome before Sakho can sign on the dotted line is for a fee to be agreed.

Liverpool value their player in the region of £30 million, with Palace officials not willing to stump up the Reds’ valuation.

Palace chairman Steve Parish has previously admitted that it would be a “very difficult” move to pull off as the club needed to “look at the budgets and be realistic.”

However, if Parish can somehow negotiate a deal down towards £20 million, the deal could well and truly be back on.
