Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Liverpool will consider a January bid for Ismaila Sarr after failing to complete a summer deal.
- Liverpool ended their active deadline pursuit when they signed Bradley Barcola and decided to retain Cody Gakpo, which removed the immediate need for a right-sided signing.
- Sources say Sarr pushed for a late move to Liverpool but Crystal Palace resisted selling him at the end of the window and manager Pierre Sage publicly insisted the player remained at the club.
- Sarr’s contract runs until 2029 and his Transfermarkt valuation is cited at about £39m, giving Palace clear negotiating leverage if Liverpool return in January.
- Coverage varies between sourced reports that Liverpool remain interested and commentators who suggested the summer approach was tactical, so January talks will depend on Liverpool’s squad form, injuries and how seriously the club pursues the target.
