Ismaila Sarr has stepped up his push to join Galatasaray, with personal terms for a four-year deal agreed. Fanatik reports that the Crystal Palace winger is taking extreme measures to drive the move.
The 28-year-old has been identified as Galatasaray’s leading target to strengthen the flanks for their Süper Lig title defence and European campaign. He is now applying direct pressure on Palace to conclude talks.
Sarr reported pain and withdrew from training sessions, viewed as an attempt to force progress in negotiations. The standoff saw him left out of Palace’s recent Premier League match against West Ham United.
Head coach Oliver Glasner addressed the issue, saying discussions are ongoing and that, given the circumstances, the club decided it was best for Sarr not to feature.
With an agreement reached on the player side, the structure of the fee with Palace remains the final hurdle. The club are holding firm on valuation, while both sides work on payment terms before the window shuts.
