Summary

Liverpool is considering a transfer for Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr after Brighton rejected their two offers for Yankuba Minteh, set at £50m and £60m. The club is seeking to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the transfer deadline. Negotiations are ongoing, though Palace reportedly does not wish to sell Sarr, who had offers from Galatasaray.
