# Ismaïla Sarr remains at Crystal Palace amid Liverpool links > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/turkish-clubs-competition-for-ismala-sarr > Updated: 2026-09-06T04:15:30.000Z. Sources: 65. Developments: 9. Ismaïla Sarr remains at Crystal Palace following a failed summer transfer to Liverpool. Negotiations became strained after Crystal Palace rejected bids, with the club subsequently valuing the player at approximately £75 million. During the standoff, Sarr reportedly skipped training and removed references to the London club from his social media accounts. Crystal Palace coach Pierre Sage noted that the 28-year-old Senegalese international needs time to “process the situation emotionally.” Sarr has also been sidelined with a groin injury, preventing his participation in recent fixtures, including the match against Fulham. Despite the summer impasse, Liverpool is reportedly preparing a renewed attempt to sign Sarr during the January transfer window. While previous negotiations involved a rejected £40 million verbal offer, Sarr’s representatives remain keen on a move to Merseyside to bolster Liverpool’s right-wing options. ## Claims - Ismaila Sarr has reached a principle agreement on personal terms with Galatasaray and is requesting a transfer to play in the Champions League.
