Liverpool Transfer News: Reds Submit Offer for Crystal Palace Star

Liverpool looked to have set their sights on a move for Yankuba Minteh, but Brighton’s £80m valuation has thrown a spanner in the works.

Such fee has caused Liverpool to shop elswhere, as they look to find another forward to join the anticipated arrival of Bradley Barcoal from PSG.

According to Fabrizio Romano, that new target is Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr.

Speaking on X, he said: “EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool open talks to sign Ismaila Sarr as new winger!”

“Move follows Minteh deal called off due to Brighton requests.”

“LFC sent a proposal worth around £50m for Senegal winger who is keen on the move.”

“Crystal Palace have already rejected two bids from Galatasaray.”

The 28-year-old enjoyed a stellar season for Crystal Palace last year, scoring 20 goals across all competitions.

£50m for a 28-year-old feels steep, but there’s a serious lack of value in the current market.

But as Liverpool fans, we’re more than familiar with Sarr’s ability as he haunts us almost every time we come up against him!

It remains to be seen what Crystal Palace’s stance will be on the offer, but you can find any further updates here on Anfield Index.
