Liverpool Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Mamadou Sakho and Christian Pulisic

French World Cup winners Christophe Dugarry and Emmanuel Petit believe Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho may have played his last minutes for the Reds following his outburst on social media, while Christian Pulisic has said he's only focused on Borussia Dortmund right now amid rumours Liverpool are tracking him.

As shared by James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo, Sakho took to Snapchat on Saturday to complain about his lack of playing time with the Reds:

Dugarry and Petit thought the defender made a big mistake, with the former suggesting he should be talking to manager Jurgen Klopp about his grievances, not his fans, per SFR Sport (h/t Liverpool Echo's Ian Doyle).

It was Petit who said his compatriot may have just booked a one-way ticket out of Anfield, however:

"

I don’t get the impression Klopp is someone inflexible, that his door is closed.

On the contrary, I get the impression he’s very close to his players. He showed that last year with his management, with his coaching.

It’s a shame. I think it’s another outburst from him (Sakho), and it could be fatal.

"

Per Doyle, Sakho has mostly made the headlines for all the wrong reasons of late. He was suspended for failing a drugs test in April and put on a plane back to the United Kingdom during the team's summer tour for breaching club policy.

The 26-year-old hasn't seen the pitch since, which would explain why he's so upset. But like Duggary and Petit, who both played for France when they won the 1998 FIFA World Cup, most pundits agreed his Snapchat post was a major mistake.

The Guardian's Sachin Nakrani took it one step further:

Sakho has been a valuable defender for Liverpool since joining the club in 2013, but incidents off the pitch continue to haunt him.

Back in 2014, he made headlines for leaving the stadium after he wasn't picked for the Merseyside derby against Everton, per Aaron Flanagan of the Mirror. Fans were―understandably―furious, and the defender later apologised.

Klopp has already addressed this latest incident, telling reporters he'll make a decision on Sakho in the future, via This Is Anfield:

Elsewhere, Dortmund star Pulisic has said his mind is on the season at hand and not transfer speculation, per The Set Pieces (h/t Liverpool Echo's Joe Rimmer): “I’m absolutely focused on the season, performing well and winning games with our team.”

According to Sports Illustrated (h/t Daily Star's Rhys Turrell), the youngster was a target for the Reds during the summer, but he opted to stay with BVB. He's since decided to stall on signing a new deal to see what kind of role he'll play for the Bundesliga club, however.

Pulisic has enjoyed a fantastic start to the 2016-17 campaign, flashing all of the talent scouts have been drooling over for years. American football expert Matthew Doyle is a big fan of the U.S. international:

The 18-year-old is a fantastic dribbler and solid athlete who mostly stands out for his high football IQ and impressive vision, traits you usually don't find in such a young player. He's already a standout for the American national team, and his long-term potential is off the charts.

Here's a look at some of his highlights:

Pulisic is expected to stay with Dortmund, where he plays regular minutes at the highest level and is surrounded by a coaching staff with plenty of experience nurturing young talent.

Liverpool will be on a long list of clubs keeping an eye on the situation, but in all likelihood, Pulisic won't be going anywhere for the time being.
