Ismaila Sarr targeted by Liverpool and Galatasaray
Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr has become a central figure in a high-stakes transfer battle involving Liverpool and Galatasaray. Liverpool reportedly submitted an opening bid of approximately £50 million to secure the 28-year-old Senegalese international, but the offer was rejected by Crystal Palace. The English club is seeking a significantly higher fee, with some reports suggesting demands as high as £60 million.
Galatasaray is also heavily pursuing the attacker, having reportedly reached a personal agreement with Sarr. The Turkish club has presented a package valued at up to €50 million, including a €35 million guaranteed fee and various performance-based bonuses related to Champions League success. Sarr has expressed a strong desire to move, citing a wish to play in the Champions League.
Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage has indicated a desire to keep the player, noting his three-year contract. Sarr has recently missed training and matches, which some attribute to an injury, while others suggest it is a form of pressure to facilitate his departure. While Liverpool remains interested, the club is also exploring other options such as Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh.
