Former Liverpool and Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho is in talks to continue his career in Brazil.

Sakho is a free agent after being released from his contract at Montpellier. His deal was terminated after a training ground bust-up with coach Michel Der Zakarian.

Simpósio Esportivo na Amazônia is reporting Sakho is very close to joining Brazilian Serie B club Amazonas FC.

Negotiations would even be '90 per cent advanced' over a one-year contract.

Sakho has joined MHSC in 2021.
