Galatasaray have lodged an offer for Crystal Palace attacker Ismaïla Sarr that was rejected, and any deal would hinge on a far bigger package.

Fabrizio Romano said on X that Palace turned down the first proposal and want to keep Sarr unless an exceptionally large bid arrives.

Sarr is regarded as a first-choice under Oliver Glasner, valued for pace, direct threat and pressing, and the club are not under pressure to sell late in the window.

The 28-year-old Senegal international is open to hearing Galatasaray’s project and personal terms, though he is content in London and has left the decision to Palace.

Talks are currently at a standstill, so Galatasaray must decide whether to raise their offer substantially or pursue alternative wide options before the deadline.
