Liverpool are reportedly in the early stages of planning a surprise late-window transfer for winger Ismaila Sarr, who has frequently troubled the Reds in the past. Sarr, who has a remarkable record of seven goals in 10 matches against Liverpool, including five goals in their last five head-to-head clashes, is currently a target for Galatasaray.
The 28-year-old Senegal international is reportedly keen on a move away from Chelsea, despite being officially listed as injured. Liverpool have also been rejected for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh in the past 72 hours, with the most recent bid valued at £60m. However, Sarr, who would serve as a natural positional replacement for Mo Salah on the right flank, has a reported asking price of £50m.
While the Reds may not be as keen on signing Sarr as they are Minteh or Bradley Barcola, they could potentially make an immediate impact upon joining the team.
