Liverpool eyes Chelsea winger Estêvão amid pursuit of Ismaïla Sarr
Summary

Liverpool is actively pursuing a transfer for Ismaïla Sarr as head coach Andoni Iraola looks to reshape his attacking lineup. Negotiations for Sarr appear to be entering a decisive phase, with the club expected to submit a final improved offer. Beyond Sarr, Liverpool’s broader recruitment strategy includes targeting a second winger, with Chelsea’s Estêvão and Yankuba Minteh cited as potential options. The club aims to enhance its pace and attacking depth after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. Sarr is viewed as a versatile asset capable of playing on the flank or through the middle, providing cover if Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitike are unavailable. All parties remain confident as the transfer window remains open.
