Liverpool have opened initial talks with Crystal Palace to explore the possibility of signing Senegalese winger Ismaïla Sarr, as the Reds continue their efforts to strengthen their attacking options before the close of the current summer transfer window.
Liverpool’s interest in Sarr comes after the club’s move for Yankuba Minteh stalled, prompting the Premier League side to turn their attention to alternative targets, with the Senegal international emerging as one of the options being considered to reinforce the wing positions.
Sarr has attracted interest from several clubs during the current transfer window, most notably Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, while previous reports indicated that Crystal Palace are reluctant to part ways with the player despite continued offers and interest in his services.
Talks between Liverpool and Crystal Palace remain at an early stage, with no final agreement reached so far. However, Liverpool’s entry into the race could spark a strong battle for the Senegalese winger during the final days of the transfer window.
Sarr and Crystal Palace are now waiting to see how negotiations develop, while Liverpool are looking to finalize their attacking plans before the summer transfer window closes.
