Liverpool targets Ismaila Sarr amid Mohamed Salah's move to Trabzonspor

Liverpool FC is reportedly preparing a renewed attempt to sign Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr during the January transfer window. A previous attempt to secure the 28-year-old player this summer failed after Crystal Palace rejected a £40 million verbal offer, holding out for closer to £50 million. Sarr’s representatives have expressed frustration over the blocked move, as the player remains keen on joining the Merseyside club to bolster Liverpool's right-wing options.

In separate football news, former Liverpool player Mohamed Salah has joined Trabzonspor in Turkey. Following a period as a free agent, the 34-year-old signed a contract running until June 30, 2028. Salah has made an immediate impact in the Süper Lig, recording four goals and one assist in his first four weeks. His arrival has also driven a significant increase in licensed merchandise sales and global popularity for the club.

Additionally, Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke has resigned following a defeat to Amed. This follows a period of instability after the club was eliminated from the Europa League play-offs by Ferencváros, an event during which former coach Fatih Terim reportedly attempted to persuade Tekke to remain in his position.
