Crystal Palace rejects £50M bid from Liverpool for Sarr

Crystal Palace has rejected a 50 million offer from Liverpool for winger Ismaila Sarr, according to multiple reports on August 26, 2026. The bid, submitted as the summer transfer window nears its close, was turned down by the Premier League club, which values the Senegal international at approximately 60 million. The rejection leaves Liverpool scrambling for attacking reinforcements after failing to secure other targets. The move follows Liverpool's abandoned pursuit of Brighton's Yankuba Minteh, after Brighton's asking price rose to 80 million. Liverpool's interest in Sarr, 28, has reportedly intensified as a result.
