Liverpool eyes Ismaila Sarr as potential replacement for departing Cody Gakpo

Liverpool is pursuing Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr as a potential replacement for Cody Gakpo before the summer transfer window closes. Reports indicate that Gakpo has reached an agreement to join Manchester City, pending a bid of £85 million. Liverpool has already submitted a £50 million offer for Sarr, which Crystal Palace rejected. While Sarr reportedly wants to move to Anfield, the transfer remains dependent on both clubs reaching an agreement. Liverpool is also expected to finalize the acquisition of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. The prospective deal for Sarr is contingent on Liverpool's willingness to sell Gakpo and the potential domino effect created by other late-window transfer activities.
