Liverpool have rejected a £25 million bid from Crystal Palace for Mamadou Sakho.

Palace chairman Steve Parish made an offer of an initial £22m with a further £3m in add-ons, but the Merseyside club is standing firm on a £30m valuation.

Palace have now made three bids for the French defender this summer. Sakho is keen to return to Selhurst Park where he enjoyed a successful loan spell last season.

Palace are not the only club to express interest in Sakho, as both West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City are also ready to bid if no deal is struck.
