Paris St Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has played
down talk of Liverpool-target Mamadou Sakho leaving, claiming he is like their
Steven Gerrard.
Sahko, 23, is unsettled at PSG, where he has been since he
was 12, and is keen to go, prompting interest from Liverpool, AC Milan, Napoli
and Roma.
The French international centre-half has yet to play a
competitive game this season and his current deal expires next summer.
Al-Khelaifi claims he has spoken to Sakho and has told him
he does not want him to go.
"Sakho is a child of the club just like Steven Gerrard
is at Liverpool," Al-Khelaifi told L'Equipe.
"It is hard to imagine him wearing another team's
jersey. I'm a little surprised that he wants to leave.
"I had a discussion with him. My position is very clear
and he knows it. We want to keep him and we will do everything to achieve
that."
