Southampton and Napoli are targeting Mamadou Sakho ahead of the summer transfer window as the defender prepares to bring the curtain down on his Liverpool career.
The France international is currently on loan at Crystal Palace but while they are paying the entirety of his £100,000 per week wages, there is no option in place for them to make his move to Selhurst Park permanent.
Southampton were keen on signing Sakho in January but failed to follow up their interest with a significant bid. Claude Puel, though, is an admirer of Sakho and would be prepared to keep him in the Premier League.
