On March 8, 2011, I had previously posted that Mamadou Sakho had renewed his contract at French Ligue Une side Paris Saint-Germain until the summer of 2014. The 21-year old centerback who played a total of 50 matches for PSG and 4 for the French National Team this year, has been rumored to be on the shortlist of many English clubs including Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool.
In the previous post regarding Sakho, I had mentioned that his current market value was at 13.500.000 Euros, which was a team-high. Roughly three months later, his stock has risen 2.500.000 to see him at 16.000.000 currently, which makes him more than 3.000.000 Euros higher than second best Nene. The Parisian club may beg to differ with transfermarkt.de's assessment, as he could be coined invaluable to the team. Playing in 4358 minutes for Paris this year, made him the third most used player in the squad, only several minutes behind Christophe Jallet and Nene.
The left-footed centerback that has played for France's national team at every level starting with U16, is now pushing his way into the regular line-up for Les Bleus at the senior level. He more than likely could also see his way to England in this summer's transfer window, as many Premier League clubs have confirmed interest in the experienced youngster (150 total matches for PSG). As previously stated, his contract runs out in 2014, but PSG will surely look to cash in on him before his contract runs out... the question is when?
