Crystal Palace reject Liverpool’s £50m bid for winger Ismaila Sarr

Crystal Palace have rejected Liverpool’s £50 million bid for winger Ismaila Sarr, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Liverpool are in the market for a new right winger following Mohamed Salah’s departure. Yan Diomande was their primary target, but he has joined Real Madrid.

They have also been priced out of moves for Paris Saint-Germain’s Ibrahim Mbaye and Brighton & Hove Albion’s Yankuba Minteh.

Liverpool are now making a late push for Sarr as they seek to strengthen their squad before the end of the transfer window.

Palace insist on keeping Sarr, casting doubt on whether a move could materialise. The Eagles previously rejected two bids from Galatasaray.

He has three years left on his current contract, putting Palace in a strong position.

Sarr is keen to follow in the footsteps of Senegal star Sadio Mane, whom he has described as his role model.

He could be a good addition for the Merseyside giants given his Premier League experience, pace, skill, tenacity and decisiveness in the final third.

He helped Palace win the Europa Conference League title last season, scoring nine goals and winning the competition’s top-scorer and best-player awards.

However, with Palace reluctant to sell the attacker, Liverpool may have to look elsewhere.

The Merseyside giants may eventually be forced to keep Cody Gakpo.

He has been linked with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, but Liverpool will only sanction a sale if they sign two wingers.
