Liverpool are keen to offload Sakho in January and are open to offers.
The centre-back fell out with manager Jurgen Klopp during the Reds' pre-season tour of the USA.
He has not played for Liverpool since and the Daily Mirror claim West Brom are eyeing a deal, having had a loan offer for the 26-year-old rejected in the summer.
However, it is claimed both Milan clubs are also interested in the France international and that rival bids are being planned for the New Year.
Inter Milan's new Chinese owners the Suning Group are supposedly keen to begin investing the squad.

There are claims Inter could have £128million to spend on players next summer, with Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti and Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal on their wish list.
AC Milan, meanwhile, are still working on their takeover despite agreements being in place for a Chinese consortium to take control from former Italy president Silvio Berlusconi.
Reports in Italy claim the takeover, which was meant to be completed in September, has been delayed by a further six weeks.
