Liverpool continue pursuit of Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace with Cody Gakpo’s future in doubt
Andoni Iraola wants to bring in three new players before the transfer deadline
Liverpool remains determined to sign Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace, despite their initial £50m bid being turned down. Manager Andoni Iraola aims to bolster the squad further before the transfer window closes, with two more signings in mind, including a potential wide player. PSG's Bradley Barcola, a 23-year-old French winger, is of particular interest after his parent club accepted an offer of £100m plus £20m in potential add-ons.
Liverpool has moved on from previous pursuit of Yankuba Minteh, who was rejected by Brighton. However, their pursuit of Sarr appears to be far from over. The 28-year-old Senegal international is comfortable playing on the right wing, a vital position for Liverpool to strengthen after Mohamed Salah's departure. Cody Gakpo's future with Liverpool is uncertain, as Tottenham is reportedly keen on signing the Dutchman.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is determined to pursue Gakpo, despite the club having already spent over £300m this summer. Iraola acknowledged on Thursday that "when the market is open, you cannot guarantee anything with anyone" regarding Gakpo's future.
