Liverpool turn attention to Sarr after Brighton reject Minteh bids

Liverpool is considering a move for Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr following Brighton's rejection of two bids for Yankuba Minteh. The Premier League club had made offers of £50 million and £60 million for Minteh, but both were declined by Brighton. Now, Liverpool has turned its focus to Sarr, a 22-year-old right-sided winger who scored 21 goals last season while at Palace.

Although Sarr shares similar attributes to Minteh, Crystal Palace has not shown interest in selling him this summer. Galatasaray was also reportedly interested in Sarr last week. Liverpool has not confirmed any bid for Sarr, but talks are ongoing as the club aims to strike a deal with Paris St-Germain for France winger Bradley Barcola.

With the transfer deadline approaching on Tuesday, Liverpool is assessing all options and is aiming to make two signings before the window closes. Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage expressed hope that both Sarr and his teammate Jean-Philippe Mateta would remain with the club. Sage mentioned that Sarr is under contract and is honest about his desire to stay with the team.
