Liverpool target Mamadou Sakho attracting AC Milan interest

Paris Saint-Germain defender Mamadou Sakho is reportedly attracting interest from Italian giants AC Milan.

The Frenchman is thought to be keen on leaving the Parc des Princes in order to strengthen his chances of being selected for his national team for the 2014 World Cup, as he finds himself behind Brazilian duo Thiago Silva and Alex in the pecking order.

Sakho, who formerly captained the Parisians, could be enticed by the prospect of linking up with fellow countryman Philippe Mexes at the San Siro, according to sportmediaset.it.

The 23-year-old, who is also rumoured to be a target of Liverpool, has made over 150 appearances for PSG since his debut in 2007.
