Liverpool remain firmly interested in Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, with the Senegalese forward reportedly eager to make the move to Anfield.
The Reds have identified the 28-year-old as a serious transfer target and are currently holding discussions over a potential deal to bring him to Merseyside.
Sarr has been earmarked as a replacement for Cody Gakpo, should the Dutch forward complete a move to Manchester City in the near future.
Since joining Crystal Palace from Olympique de Marseille, Sarr has enjoyed considerable success at Selhurst Park, winning an FA Cup, a Conference League, and the Community Shield.
The Senegal international delivered an impressive individual campaign last season, scoring 21 goals and registering one assist across 43 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool have already had an opening bid rejected by Crystal Palace, but the club has not walked away from negotiations and continues to push for an agreement.
Crystal Palace are demanding £75 million for their prized winger, a figure that reflects their reluctance to part ways with one of their most important attacking players.
The London club is reportedly dragging out negotiations, unhappy about the prospect of losing Sarr during the final stages of the transfer window.
Sarr himself has made clear where his future lies, reportedly skipping training and making it known he no longer wishes to continue playing for Crystal Palace.
The forward is a natural right winger by trade but is also capable of filling in as a striker when required, adding tactical flexibility to his profile.
Sarr is described as a quick, strong, and aerially capable forward who contributes heavily to pressing and defensive work without the ball.
At 28 years old, the Senegalese international is considered to be in the prime years of his career, making him an attractive proposition for a club with Liverpool’s ambitions.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Sarr underlines their determination to maintain squad depth and quality as they continue to compete across multiple fronts this season.
