Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho will not join Roma this summer, his agent has said.
France international Sakho, 26, has reportedly been targeted by the Giallorossi, who are in the market for a new centre-back this summer after loaning Leandro Castan to Sampdoria and with Mario Rui tearing his cruciate knee ligaments while on a preseason tour of the United States.
However, agent Niakate Housseyni told LaRoma24.it: "I've not had any contact with Roma. He's a Liverpool player and I don't think Roma have any chance [of signing him] at the moment."
There had been reports of a falling out between Sakho and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp after the German sent the player home for breaking club rules while on their U.S. tour.
That had led to the speculation he may leave this summer, but Houssenyi denied that there was "any argument with his boss Jurgen Klopp."
