da roleta： The upcoming transfer window could be the perfect time for Crystal Palace to wave goodbye to a costly arrival.
da jogodeouro： According to Correire dello Sport, centre-back Mamadou Sakho is on a list of potential summer targets for Serie A giants Lazio alongside the likes of Arsenal’s David Luiz and Chelsea’s Thiago Silva.
Out of contract at the end of the season after four years as a permanent Eagles player, Palace should certainly not fight too hard to keep the Frenchman at Selhurst Park.
Having arrived from Liverpool, initially on-loan, Sakho has endured a rollercoaster period with the club.

He has, at points, been an excellent option at the back for Roy Hodgson, specifically during the 2018/19 season where he played 27 times in the Premier League alone as the club finished 12th in the standings.
However, he has also endured frustrating injury problems, having missed a total of 67 matches through injury, whilst he has only appeared on six occasions throughout the current campaign.
For context, the defender has only actually appeared on 75 occasions for the club in his four years at the club since arriving for what was a reported fee of £26m from Liverpool.
As a result, Sakho has now fallen considerable down the pecking order, finding himself behind the likes of Gary Cahill, Cheikhou Kouyate, Scott Dann and James Tomkins for a starting berth at centre-back.
Considering that lack of action then, the £6.3m-rated French international has certainly not justified his £100k per-week wages at Selhurst Park.
With Lazio then now swooping for his signature, Palace now have the perfect opportunity to let him go as opposed to extending his contract.
It really now could be time then, for the Eagles to wave goodbye to Sakho in the upcoming transfer window.
AND in more news, Palace have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Aaron Ramsey…
