Roma will have to contend with Liverpool in the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Mamadou Sakho as the Anfield club are believed to be the favourites to land the Paris native.
The Giallorossi were set to meet with Les Parisiens on Tuesday, but that meeting has been pushed back until Wednesday regarding a move for the 23-year-old.
Sky Sports report that while sporting director Walter Sabatini is keen to land the former PSG captain, the latest reports indicate that Liverpool are the favourites to land Sakho due to his high wage demands.
If a move for Sakho fails to go through, it is understood the Giallorossi will turn their attention to Cagliari defender Davide Astori in an attempt to sure up the Lupi’s defence.
Sakho has made 215 in all competitions for the French giants since being promoted from the youth team in 2006.
