Ismaila Sarr has been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace this summer, and Liverpool have been mentioned as a potential destination.
He has been linked with Turkish clubs like Galatasaray, but reporter Nezvat Dindar claims that Liverpool could be an option for the player.
Ismaila Sarr could join Liverpool
It is no secret Liverpool needs a dynamic attacker like him, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to make a move for the international. Sarr has also been linked with Manchester United.
“Ismaila Sarr can play in many areas of the attacking line, which is why [Galatasaray boss] Okan Buruk wants this transfer very much,” Dindar said (via Galatasaray account Forza Cimbom).
“Galatasaray is extremely serious about the Ismaila Sarr transfer. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is just as determined not to sell the player.
“However, Sarr wants to leave and did not take a place in the squad today for this reason.
“It’s also reported that Liverpool is interested in the Senegalese footballer.”
Sarr has been a reliable performer in the Premier League over the years, and he has particularly impressed against Liverpool. The Palace star has seven goals and two assists in 10 appearances against Liverpool. He has terrorised the Reds through the years, and the opportunity to join them could be exciting for the player.
It would be a huge step up in his career. The 28-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a top club where he can fight for major trophies. He will feel that he has already done all he could at Crystal Palace. He has helped them win domestic trophies, and the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
Sarr could strengthen Liverpool’s attack
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been linked with multiple attacking players in recent weeks, but they have not been able to complete those deals. They need more in the final third, and adding a versatile player who can operate anywhere across the front three would be ideal.
Sarr will help create chances with his pace, flair and link-up play. He can score goals as well.
Whatever the h*ll is going on with our recruitment team is getting old. If they think Barcola is the answer, stump up the money and get it done already. If PSG want 60m for Mbaye, and Brighton won’t sell Minteh for 60m, then buy Mbaye! Ismaila Sarr is not the answer. We were tracking him 10 years ago and never decided to bring him in, so why should we now??? I get that transfers are getting out of hand, but if you know that the market is inflated, then just pay the inflated fees and get it done. We run the risk of another Isak situation with whoever comes in at this point and they are really screwing Iraola over right now.
