Summary

Liverpool has opened negotiations to sign Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace, as reported on August 26, 2026. This move follows the collapse of their attempts to secure Yankuba Minteh due to Brighton's high valuation. Liverpool has submitted a £50 million offer for Sarr, who scored 20 goals last season and is interested in the transfer. Crystal Palace previously rejected two bids from Galatasaray for Sarr. Liverpool is eager to add another forward alongside Bradley Barcoal, expected to join from PSG.
