    All over the French papers that it's a done deal for Sakho - pending Medical today.

    'According to L’Equipe, Sakho is set to sign a 4-year-contract with the Reds, and will earn €100k a week at Liverpool'

    'GFN France: DONE DEAL: We confirm subject to a medical, Liverpool have reached a total agreement to sign Mamadou Sakho for €23m inc bonuses'


    It's believed the sum is €18m-€19m but we will end up paying another €4m in bonuses.


    We'll see if it's true, but the French seem to think its a done deal <ok>

    The Lisbon fans seem delighted they're getting rid of Ilori for £8m <laugh>

    Not surprised. He's pretty average, and will only add to the squad depth - he better get used to sitting on his arse.

    Even youtube doesn't do him any favours <doh>

    I guess the fact he speaks fluent English may help him settle. Time will tell but I'm not even slightly excited by this signing (if it happens).

    PSG forums on the other hand, gutted that Sahko is going.

    He is still young and a little raw, have seen him a few times and he has looked good. His main attribute is his speed. I don't think there is a faster CB around than him.

    Ilori is only 20 and that's extremely young for a CB - must have some promise for us to be buying him

    I've only seen him play twice, so perhaps I'm being a bit judgemental - We'll see how it works out.

    Didn't realise he was that fast, that's extremely useful for a CB.

    With Sporting likely to re-embrace its famous academy again after a few years of neglect, it looks like Portuguese central defender Tiago Ilori is set to play a big role the club&#8217;s future.

    The 20-year-old Ilori began the 2012-13 campaign with Sporting&#8217;s B squad in the second tier before he was called up to the main squad on February 16th against Gil Vicente. Ilori scored in the 6th minute with a header off a corner for his first goal at the professional level in only his third appearance.

    Ilori has been a regular starter since veteran manager Jesualdo Ferreira took over Sporting in late December. Born to a British-Nigerian father and a Portuguese mother in London, England, Ilori started playing football in the Algarve as a striker. In 2006, he was signed by Sporting&#8217;s prestigious academy and eventually converted to centre-back.

    Tall at 1.90 m and thin, Ilori resembles PSG&#8217;s Tiago Silva in appearance. Portuguese daily Correio da Manhã likened his playing style and velocity to Real Madrid defender Raphaël Varane. In February 2013, it was reported that Ilori broke Sporting&#8217;s speed record in training, surpassing results set by Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo when they were with the academia.

    In January, the club fought off strong attempts by Ligue 1 club Toulouse to sign Ilori. He has also drawn interest from PSG and several Premier League clubs. However, in March, the club announced that they had extended Ilori&#8217;s contract until 2015. His transfer clause is set at 30 million Euros.

    Yep, they are in a bit of a mess!

  16. Clauses don't mean the player can only be sold for that amount, they only mean the bid as to be accepted if over the agreed fee.

    I'm with here though Sky, I'd be far more excited about Sakho than Llori

    I really hope the two center back signings happen we are in dire need of Sahko and this Llori seems like a good one for the future, if they do come to us I think that Skrtel will be on his way and Coates days numbered.

    Center backs - Sahko, Llori, Toure, Agger, Widom, Kelly that looks better than what we currently have imo.

    A bit <yikes>

    I've just got a loan to buy a boat, but If I went into my bank and said I owed them 220mil I think Mr Bkertwon (My banker) would shoot me in the back of the head.
