Free since his departure from PSG, the former French international could bounce back in an exotic championship.

Former French international Mamadou Sakho is in talks to continue his career in Brazil.

A 90% transfer concluded for Sakho

Sakho is free from any commitment after leaving Montpellier. His contract was terminated following a training ground argument with coach Michel Der Zakarian.

The media Simpósio Esportivo na Amazônia claims that the ex-Parisian is very close to joining Brazilian Serie B club Amazonas FC. Negotiations would even be “90% advanced” for a one-year contract.

Sakho has already had experience abroad. It was in the Premier League. This is a completely different challenge. If he takes charge of Brazil, he could possibly meet his former teammate in the selection, Dimitri Payet. The latter has been playing at Vasco Da Gama since last year.
